Calculate spacing in lilypond
Hello everyone, I have been using lilypond for 2 years now in a project called "psautiers" (psalm in french) to create database of music : you can see examples at my website www.psautiers.org. Yet I used the scripts musicxml2ly and lilypond to create a jpeg from a musicxml file. Now that everything works fine, I would like to implement a way of changing colors in a few notes (for example to color the first notes of my score, or to color the predominant note in a melody), but to do this I have two solutions : -reexecuting lilypond and musicxml2ly to color a few notes which is very costy in time and in CPU because I use a system command. -or finding how you implemented the spacing in lilypond and directly coloring the corresponding notes in the jpeg file. I tried to look at the source using apt-get source lilypond and I then went to the lily directory. However I did not find what I searched for. Is the algorithm difficult to grasp? You may provide me a better way to underline of color a few notes.

Converting ly to musicxml
Hi, I have been using lilypond for 3 years in my projects: http://www.psautiers.org (this is the website on which I am currently working on), and http://www.score-catcher.org (the sister site) in which I convert musicxml to lilypond and then I put the score online. The thing is that the musicxml format is not the one most people use, so I can't put on many scores online... However I think it would be easier to convert ly to musicxml (in fact i want to convert like this : midi -> ly -> musicxml). Converting from midi to ly is possible, but ly to musicxml has never been done... So my plan is to program it myself I think I would do it in python as musicxml2ly is also written in python. Do you have anything to say about it ? Will I face some problems I have not thaught of? Have I missed anything that would really make this task easier? If I manage to do it , will it be possible to add it in the source tree ? And a last request , can you link my website (psautiers.org or score-catcher.org or both) from your website? Thanks really much for your help Dang Nguyen Bac ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

Is it because it is easier to parse ly files with scheme (I don't know this language yet ) ?

But I don't know yet how I would build the xmldoc tree (once everything is programmed), What do you think about it ? Am i wrong doing so,(it would my first time contributing to the open-source community).
