hi folks, i have a paying project where I could save a lot of time if i could get Lilypond to add some degree of information to the SVG export. My ultimate objective is to be able to discretely identify (all the nodes comprising) a given note (e.g. 3rd note in part 1, or 5th note in part 2 of measure 4) and any associated lyric(s). I've explored the SVG output to some extent, and right now my only apparent option would be to either add attributes to nodes manually or try to script something (i mainly do Python development). However, any svg parsing/scripting would have to rely on heuristics to infer information, which would be complicated and possibly unreliable.
I have seen that the PDF export adds hyperlinks to entities in the document that correlate them back to line and char numbers in the .ly file. Even if i could get this data in the svg nodes, it might enable me to get the rest of what i want. I'm not a C/C++ coder, and mucking about in the Lilypond source isn't really an option for me, but i am in a position to hire someone to do that, and/or make a financial contribution to the project. Is anyone here interested in exploring this with me? many thanks, michael _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
