Hi Bill,
https://github.com/openlilylib
Having cloned the git repository, here are the instructions for use:
https://github.com/openlilylib/oll-core/wiki/Basic-Usage
You need oll-core, oll-misc, and snippets at the least.
Openlilylib is not core lilypond, but it is indispensable. The
\shapeII function is powerful and after a while you get to know
what numbers are needed. I use that function constantly.
I am fairly sure you need lilypond 2.19 to use OLL currently.
As you get into this, please note you need to use the module.ily
versions of the code, not the old definitions.ily versions.
Clone it anywhere you like, then add the path to your lilypond
include path.
I am not a programmer, but I am trying to understand the include
path.Say I clone here C:\openLilyLib\.Then I want to use some files in
snippets; and I include the path C:\openLilyLib\snippets\.Would that
include path give me access to all the files and subfiles in snippets?
Would setting the path to C:\openLilyLib\in the environmental
variables do anything for this?This and any thing you may add to this
topic would be useful to me.So far Google has not cleared this up for me.
The include path is documented in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage
(the -I command line option), but that's of course not very helpful if
you haven't got your head around the concept in the first place.
When you use \include in a LilyPond file LilyPond will look for it in a
number of places, like LilyPond's internal files and the directory the
compiled .ly document is in. If you have
\include "relative/path/to/file.ily"
LilyPond will find it if it is in the given relative path to *any* of
its search path entries.
If the file should happen to be present in multiple of these locations
LilyPond will use the *first* one it finds.
You can explicitly *add* paths to the search path by providing them with
the -I command line option, and when you use Frescobaldi paths can be
added using Preferences=>LilyPond preferences (or as session specific
paths in Session=>Manage...) - which internally does the same and adds
the -I option to the LilyPond invocation.
So, for openLilyLib this means:
* You need *one* root directory where all openLilyLib packages will be
located *below*, say C:\openLilyLib
* Within that you need to have (at least) the oll-core package, in
C:\openLilyLib\oll-core (so you'll have a file
C:\openLilyLib\oll-core\package.ily)
* Then you need to add C:\openLilyLib to LilyPond's search path
* After that \include "oll-core/package.ily" will start searching at
C:\openLilyLib and find the package.ily file => This will "load the
openLilyLib infrastructure".
* Additional packages have to be placed beside oll-core, e.g. in
C:\openLilyLib\snippets or C:\openLilyLib\scholarly
* From there oll-core can be used to load packages or modules using
its \loadPackage or \loadModule commands, both of which are not
*LilyPond* commands but are defined in oll-core
* It is irrelevant *where* all this happens, but it is mandatory that
the relative paths (i.e. everything next to each other in one root
directory) are exactly like described above and that the package
directories are named exactly as they are programmed (you may not
give them "speaking" names or adjust the capitalization).

In trying to follow along with this list I was unable to get
to my root directory (linux mint 18.?) even though I have
admin privileges. using locate and find command in terminal
did not come up with
package.ily or oll-core. I also searched the general internet
and https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user. found
lots of references to this but no way to download the ily file
as I have done a
few times in the past.
[ root ]
|- - oll-core
Any help or pointers are appreciated.
