To all:
Hope this isn't inappropriate. I found Lilypond a few weeks ago and
have been trying to familiarize myself with it; I have a MM in
Performance, have done quite a bit of composing, arranging, and
orchestration, so I thought it would be interesting, now that I'm
beginning courses in computer programming, to see the guts of music
engraving. I would like to learn more about how to develop things for
Lilypond, including a GUI interface, but I'm still pretty green on the
programming side. Is there a comprehensive documentation anywhere
explaining the makeup of the source code?
No. The entry point is main(). Good luck.
Also, I just saw that one of the original developers is NOT really a fan
of C++; if you were to try again today, what language would you use and
why? I'm mostly familiar with C++ and Java (yeah, big diff there, I
know),
No, C++ and Java are much the same: statically typed imperative
prrogramming languages, with support for object orientation. I think I
would use a new project to start learning Haskell or OCaml.
