Hi all, The command line tools provided by python-ly are very convenient and easy to use, but I'm finding it a little harder to wrap my head around the Python module.
For example, it is easy to automatically indent a file with $ ly "indent" file.ly or to indent the output of another command such as $ cat file.ly | ly "indent" I'd like to be able to do something similar in Python, using ly.indent to indent files or (preferably) strings. It seems that ly.indent might be what I want, but I'm having trouble figuring out how it works. The Indenter() class, with an indent() function, is defined here,[1] but I'm don't understand what a cursor object is or how to create and pass one. I next tried looking through Frescobaldi's code for example usage and found this,[2] but I think I would need to learn more about how Frescobaldi works in order to follow what's happening, which is deeper than I want to go to indent a string of Lilypond code. Is there a simple way to use ly.indent similarly to `ly "indent"`, or would I be better off invoking `ly "indent"` externally with os.system()? Thanks, Mason [1] https://github.com/frescobaldi/python-ly/blob/0d91ca2450ba01a8158f53ba05202af3e13bf78d/ly/indent.py [2] https://github.com/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/blob/09cae764126b505dedf0182beccd78d7934b2de4/frescobaldi_app/indent.py
