The typical way to use LilyPond from the outside is generate some input for it (or have users write that) and than pass it to LilyPond for compilation. This can be either by writing a file and give that to LilyPond or by directly passing it the content in a string through the shell. For some applications it may also be a way to use the python-ly library that powers the Frescobaldi (text) editor ( https://python-ly.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

Lilypond API
Hello, I would like to use lilypond parser in my own application. I can't find any API or external library to do that. What is the correct approach you would advice me to follow? Thanks Brahim Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.
Re: Lilypond API
Search the mailist; a way of running lilypond as a server and avoiding re-loading guile every time has been posted at least twice. I'm not aware of any API, nor any serious effort to write one. This could be a nice addition, though, so I would encourage your company to assign a developer to work on this and contribute GPL'd patches so that everybody can benefit.

LilyPond API question
I am working on a Gtk-- notation application (well, still at the concepts though) and I'd like to use LilyPond for basic printouts and most of the syntax/structure of files. Does LilyPond already offer any realtime drawing functions for the score on a eg. gtk drawing surface or am I forced to write the whole workspace's note engraver engine on my own? - Matevz ___ lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
