Dear Fr. Pierre François, >From a previous email from Jakub, I gather that lygre is "a Ruby script translating gabc to simple lilypond (simplified modern notation, not the quadratic notation also supported by lilypond)". I am curious about the possibility of doing this form of simplified modern notation in certain academic contexts, not for trying to replace the excellent Gregorian notation output of Gregorio.
Thanks, Jakub, for your work! To return to the subject of the initial post, this is quite interesting in that it is similar to the approach I use with the GABC Transcription Tool by Benjamin Bloomfield. Benjamin, I'm curious if it would be easily possible to add the option of outputting to the gly format while inputting with your two-box system. I sometimes find myself putting a complete Gregorio score into your one-box and converting it to text and music by switching to the two-box view, which makes me think that the Gly format might work well for some of my needs. best, fr Innocent, op On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 4:00 AM, Pierre François <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Jakub and Br.
