LILYPOND DAYCARE HOW TO

Once familiar with Lilypond, this method of score writing makes a lot of sense. Coming from a background that includes quite a lot of computer programming, this wasn't a problem, and I quite like the method of input via (compiled) text files (I simply used 'Notepad'). I more or less rewrote my music from scratch.

I transferred it, although I couldn't sort out how to use an XML MuseScore export file. I have since been experimenting with a short score that I had prepared earlier in MuseScore. I downloaded and installed it and managed to get it working. I have been following this thread with some interest and thought it might be a good idea to give Lilypond a tryout. I don't use Windows often, but does this also work on Windows? I tried using CMD.EXE and teh PowerShell but can't get it working the same way as in Linux. I would prefer a cross platform LyX style approach.īTW: On Linux I can use mscore as a commandline tool to convert fileformats supported by Musescore. But it is not cross platform and very specific to my own laptop. I wrote a Python script and a Musescore2 plugin, that gives me this. Surprise: On my own Linux system I can already do this. It would the be possible for me to import/export from/to lilypond, abc, humdrum, etc. For example: I have commands for abc2xml, xml2abc, musicxml2ly, ly musicxml, xml2hum, hum2xml, nwc2xml, bww2mxml, on my Linux system. Translated to MuseScore: It would allow me to define file import and export commands to/from MusicXML using external tools and store them. Maybe you know this software? It allows me to add fileformats, and to add 'converters' that call external commands to convert from one fileformat to another. I am thinking of a system similar to what is used in LyX. (xml2abc, abc2xml, musicxml2ly, python-ly, xml2hum, hum2xml). It would be nice if Musescore had a built-in way to organise different existing external converter tools from/to MusicXML. Yes, MusicXML is the way to go when exchanging scores between different applications and fileformats.
