The data is in a LISP structure since it is processed internally in lilypond with Scheme. This output is suitable for converting to other data formats, unlike the original example which in a meta format of the actual underlying musical data. This will generate the following data in the more conventional sense of musical data (note that (ly:make-pitch 0 0 0) is middle C). The above example can be converted into a list of notes using this command within the lilypond file:
Bach's first book of the Well-tempered Clavier: Here is a more complicated example of using the lilypond data format as a programming language to describe the prelude in C major from J.S.

Will generate a PDF file containing the following graphical music: For example, here is a melodic fragment (c, d, e, f, g) which is repeated starting on other pitches by using the function \transpose which takes three arguments: two pitches which define the transposition interval, and a sequence of notes to transpose. The primary lilypond data format is a form of programming language which can contain macros and functions with which to generate the music. Therefore, the data format is similar to TeX or LaTeX syntax. It evolved from TeX-based music notation display systems.

Out of curiosity, I searched the manual using phrasing from your post as an experiment, span whole system width, which brings up the page about horizontal justification at the top result.LilyPond is the most feature-rich of the non-interactive graphical music notation rendering systems. If you want to pull everything after a selected point into one system without adding another system break (and therefore another system) at the end, insert just one system break and then activate the “Wait for next system break” property. “Make into system” works by inputting 2 system breaks: one at the start and one at the end of your selection. In terms of finding answers for this stuff in the documentation: I’d be interested to know where you would expect to find explanations / hints / tutorials? It should be the case that all the constituent parts (the settings you need and actions you might need to take) are all documented, but of course they are also useful in any number of other situations. There’s also this option for whether Dorico automatically horizontally justifies the last system in a flow (which for a single-system flow is just its one system), and if so at what fullness threshold.
I’m a bit confused about the creation of hidden barlines.Īpologies for the rambling post. Ideally, I’d like to be able to work with open meter to create systems of arbitrary length: passages of arbitrary numbers of notes that span a system and also systems that extend for a partial page width but still have no barlines. If I select the passage in Engrave mode and choose Make Into System, I get the results I want, but then I get a second empty system, In open meter, I can input my notes, but the seven notes do not span the whole system width. I want to be able to create systems of arbitrary lengths, and with no barlines, and to be able to control whether a system spans the whole page or is shorter than page width.įirst and foremost, I’d like to be able to create a simple flow of one system that contains seven notes, and for those seven notes to be evenly spaced across the system, with no following systems. I’m having a bit of trouble with getting the results I’d like in open meter, and also having a hard time navigating the documentation to find what I need.
