LilyPond (http://lilypond.org/web/) uses Project GNU's GUILE Scheme interpreter for extension. Scheme is a dialect of the LISP programming language.
I'm using OOoLilyPondPlugin(http://ooolilypond.sourceforge.net/) in OpenOffice and I can write musical notation via a little texteditor in Writer, Impress and Draw. Here's an example: \relative c'' {c d e f g} \addlyrics {this fol--lows the notes} . It runs the LilyPondcode through a local installation of LilyPond - (it's a program without any gui) - but it can also be used from a server running lilypond... - and produces a png - from a ps-file made by LilyPond. The quality is very good!! If I want to reedit the music - I just click the graphic and reinvoke the macro - which shows the previous code for the ps-file and lets me overwrite the previous png-output. It's very elegant and intuitive..And it means that You can send your document to someone who hasn't Lilypond installed - and they can read the notation anyway!! I've seen Mr Paolo Soares': ASCIIMathMLPlugin (made in collaboration with Peter Jipsen )(http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~psoares/ asciimathml.html#Dynamic) - and was wondering if it is possible to make something like that for musical notation in a TW?? A plugin with an option to specify the location of the Lilypond.exe file (Like the FCK-editor plugin) - would make it very mobile - and let musicteachers publish lessons and pieces online - as well as give their students a TW-version (maybe with pngs in the same directory as the html) - working as a portable musicscrapbook - and the music could be edited - when the TW is loaded on a PC with LilyPond installed - or from the web - but still useable without LilyPond - because of the pngs... Maybe I'm just dreaming??!! Food for thought: ....// If music is the food of love - then let's try to write some music - in a TW :-)// YS Måns Mårtensson --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
