Dear all,
Saturday the 17 February, the existence of our “secret” A-Play application was
made public in a response e-mail from Valentin Villenave. We would like to
inform you a little more detailed about our new project.
A-Play is a web-based shell using the LilyPond language. A-Play used to be a
“normal” note-writing program, but we changed our mind, when we saw what
LilyPond was able to do.
A-PLAY WILL BE PUBLISHED VERY SOON ON WWW.A-PLAY.DK
======================================================
The A-Play shell contains five menus with Copy Pads or "Pallets", which are
code snippets to be pasted into the score editor. After the list of the main
menus, you will find the expanded menu tree, allowing you to look deeper into
the inner working of our menu based copy and paste application.
We have the following statement: A-Play is a freeware GNU documentation or
application according to your liking. A-Play consists of a large range of ready
made templates, chords, scales and other snippet to be copied and pasted into
your favourite editor. A-Play only needs Lily Pond and a text editor to do its
job, i.e. making it easier to program scores. A-Play runs on Windows 98 to XP
and should be able to run on Linux without problems. We have not yet tested
other platforms.
A little teaser, a D(b5) chord box: We have got them in all keys and flavoures:

See a template example at the end of this (very long) intro.
