Dear Lilypond developers, I’m the principal developer of music21, a python-based toolkit for computational musicology and musical analysis which interfaces with MusicXML and some aspects of lilypond (output; no input). In order to test musicxml input and output, I’ve long relied upon the Lilypond MusicXML Test Suite. There are some aspects that are missing or incorrectly encoded in it, so I’ve asked Reinhold Kainhofer if he minded if I forked the MIT-licensed test suite so that it could be edited separately from contributing directly to Lilypond (or to music21). He had no objections, so I’ve started to work on the project at:
https://github.com/cuthbertLab/musicxmlTestSuite Most of my work will be in testing aspects of MusicXML that are not in the current test suite, along with testing new MusicXML 3.0 changes to the specification. (as an aside. in case anyone is interested in borrowing from or working on the music21 (abc, musicxml, noteworthy, cappella) to Lilypond code, it’s at https://github.com/cuthbertLab/music21/tree/master/music21/lily) Thanks for letting me pop on the list. Long a fan of the great musical typography of Lilypond. Best, Michael Cuthbert _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
