LilyPond

GNU LilyPond is a computer program for music engraving. One of LilyPonds major goals is to produce scores that are engraved with traditional layout rules, reflecting the era when scores were engraved by hand. It uses a simple text notation for music input, which LilyPond interprets and processes in a series of stages. In the final stage, music notation is output to PDF (via PostScript) or other graphical formats, such as SVG or PNG.

• LilyPond is sheet music creation software, not a music learning game. Guest • Dec 2018 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
