Lyp – The Lilypond Swiss Army Knife
- jonathonf 10y agoIn case anyone is wondering, LilyPond is FOSS music score production/transcribing software: http://lilypond.org/ http://lilypond.org/ Though if you do any of that you'll probably already know. :)
- gabetax 10y agoFor such a long README, this utterly fails to explain or even link to what Lilypond is. I googled for a few pages, assuming that it wouldn't be related to http://lilypond.org http://lilypond.org (partially due to the differences in capitalization), only to find if I searched the README for "music" that it seems to be related. I'm still not sure why a music notation program needs a package manager.
- zem 10y agopretty much anything that has packages ends up needing a package manager, and everyone seems to roll their own
- ciconia 10y agoFWIW lyp is the _only_ package manager for Lilypond.
- zem 10y agoI meant every project rolls its own (e.g. ruby has gems, perl has cpan, tex has ctan, etc.); there is no generic package manager that is used by different ecosystems even though you'd think a lot of the problems being solved were not specific to the project.
- TylerE 10y agoWhy wouldn't it? Lilypond is basically LaTeX for music.
- ciconia 10y agoLilypond differs from most other music notation programs in that it's basically a compiler of source files written in Lilypond (and Scheme) syntax. Lyp acts as a package manager in order to allow Lilypond users to share and reuse code.
