-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 * Package name : gly Version : 0.0.3+git20160509.0.00bde29 Upstream Author : Jakub Pavlík <jkb.pav...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/igneus/gly * License : MIT Programming Lang: Ruby Description : Flexible Gregorian notation format compiling to canonical gabc Writer-friendly Gregorian notation format compiling to gabc. GLY is an acronym of "Gregorio for liLYponders" or "Gregorio with separate LYrics." Why === One of the most popular solutions for typesetting quadratic notation used for the Gregorian chant is Gregorio. Gregorio is a great tool, but I really don't like it's default input format gabc - it's not very well readable, pain to write, and too restrictive (for some reason doesn't support other than the predefined header fields). That led me to designing an alternative, Gregorio-inspired notation format, which compiles to pure Gregorio gabc. (Only after that I learned to know the GABC Transcription Tool by Benjamin Bloomfield, which does something quite similar, but as a web-based tool. You can think of gly as of a less clever GABC Transcription Tool for those who strongly prefer command-line and plaintext-file-based workflows over the web-based ones.) Features ======== gly language * music separated from lyrics * no need of the ubiquitous and tedious parentheses * music transcription is usually quicker and more comfortable * separation of "material and form" -> easy copying of the music or lyrics alone is possible (useful for a composer) * syllabified lyrics entered in a format inspired by LilyPond * music and lyrics can be interspersed as needed * no semicolons in the header * custom header fields * several scores per file gly tool * transform your gly document to one or more gabc scores * compile pdf preview with a single command, without writing any (La)TeX * produces score annotations from provided score header fields * transform gly document to (modern notation) lilypond document ============================== Reasons for packaging: gly enhances "gregorio" / "texlive-binaries", "gregoriotex" / "texlive-music", and make use of LilyPond Possibly group maintained with the Ruby team? https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJXPqs5AAoJEOolALQSxZrPQQsQAI+x3DW7Rex3ncwsQ7eWvTmB ERajMUrHX7YrirtjUoZUeTijHvXyqQ9tLLx/uqpFgPWHCPMV+mALyvTLIOBaa303 Xo0G5MbYyKNbEhy9s2T7tgNQcMHsMtWjCPATZxOGU+mYHwZXwOqJ4ytEtddQGKPQ wBnwigYobRZ2pBwpzV77v/oMvfWU9AVdAHoOor2AI8SZtqCiLrkU6vmXMCHcKQpz DR2NWukxEVUHMHh7fjjF5LBxzB4gUKtBDr/3XEG7lW7O0Bwmc70ni66TOpEeOfZn 2tQJv4A0pr/gvuh9KpPPr6+vOCXrkDd/r9FXNqeB8XeCGIR7NNmtElbDjpUhcBX7 ztpVgU8HRVJkOdiNKz2QUx7dJrL9Yd8+sCG8+FmcjyURsdlBYpbUCSx6wpqDIjPe PDFq2maUya+vx+XIP5Q/3rVLg+y0OEUf+fDhvSCMPfdeLJh4R5tXm+ADDhceSX3n dPwtd9tT8ZZg3SI25+ZgFsYPlSKSzFaedAm1H/envi/s4CgJ3IEBPUHrH2DYER94 cW2jgrrbKVGxPgcBiO8/CwbE/ExokFSVcV4O6DnlaieuE6UbsvE6Kspdgkgx0ORK /uxcRwVrh+HVGGZ8tFfmCFplAk/AuDecMTsdf83jPUCJakaHJvcqvqplSmpmDAR4 u12XRNwmgb3Abz8u5n7r =eWOk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
