Hi Urs, Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it.

Indeed, when you want to create a persistent state that can be tweaked, this approach of mine is quite handy. But also I find it much easier to deal with compositional aspects in a separate code than my final scores. In case you or anyway is interested, here are some samples of my own work generated using this Fortran library (and as I mentioned before, there was absolutely no tweaking or corrections after the program created the final .ly file). http://s7.postimg.org/s83fd887f/Palimpsest_for_chamber_orchestra.png http://s28.postimg.org/4gcfx408d/Tete_a_tete_for_two_marimbas.png http://s17.postimg.org/ijhpf8zwv/On_the_Origin_of_Pitches_for_solo_vibraphone.png http://s21.postimg.org/fkcgbwvif/Composition_for_Nine_Sounds_for_solo_percussion.png http://s30.postimg.org/5kzu3xz5t/Three_for_flute_alto_flute_and_clarinet.png Urs Liska wrote > So it's of course a good addition to have a library for an additional > language available. I have been promising myself to properly learn Python and to convert this library, but I just can't find the time. If this ever happen, then I'll also upload a Python version of this library, which would be much more useful to other users (I am one of the last three people in this world who can still speak Fortran ;) ) Urs Liska wrote > Ehm, I'm sorry and embarrassed that we still have your post dangling > somewhere.

I guess that if would still be interested in something similar to that post, probably the best would be to rewrite the whole thing. I think I could do much better today :) Thanks again for the encouraging words, and take care, Gilberto -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Fortran-library-for-generating-LilyPond-code-tp168112p168234.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
