Suggestion of (new ? ) feature : When a lilypond score-image is created ( e.g. a png file ), a log file can be used by an external software. This log file contains information about graphical position of the notes, within the score-image ( e.g. beat, stave, # of page, x-y-width-heigh ). The external software can use the score-image, and make graphical « interaction » with the picture ( highlight the items, ... ).
Usage : I would like to develop a new version of my Expresseur freeware ( www.expresseur.com ). I would like to use lilypond to build the score-image, according to the user’s options ( staves to play/display ). For this, I can use Lilypond to build easily the score-image, building automatically the lilypond source-code. But I also need to interact with the score-image, to highlight position dynamically. So, I need to know where to find graphically the notes, within the image. The log file can be a solution … My contribution : I can update source-code ( C++, .. ). But some help can be useful to know where to « touch » this (large) project…. Alternative : Filter tha available logs. May be(?), this information is already available in a « verbose » log. In this case, I just need some indications to know how to generate this information, and where to find it in the log. With this information, it will be easy for me to parse the text logs… For consideration Franck Revolle _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
