Introducing Hacklily, another online LilyPond editor

[Joshua Netterfield]

Hi all,

I've been working on an online LilyPond editor in my spare time, and 
would appreciate your feedback. You can use it as a scratchpad, or sign 
in with a GitHub account to save sheet music directly there.


Try it at https://www.hacklily.org

It's inspired by great projects like LilyBin and Overleaf.

I'm sharing this fairly early on, and would prefer if you didn't share 
this broadly yet so I can scale it. I also recommend you avoid relying 
on it for anything too serious. You can give me feedback by replying to 
me, or on GitHub (https://github.com/hacklily/hacklily).


I hope you find it useful and am looking forward to your feedback.

Best,
Joshua Netterfield

Hi,

Nice. First impression: the colorscheme choice for the textedit pane is a 
little dark in my opinion. I would prefer brighter colors for the textfont 
for better readability. A choice between different color schemes would be 
even better. For example if a user prefers a white/light background and 
instead.

So far, this looks very nice! I like the autocomplete for code and 
autopreview for results.


I've done a little work with LilyBin and mostly liked it. But I could 
see that people would soon want file-save options other than DropBox, if 
they're already heavy users of Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, 
whatever-else. Hacklily is saving to GitHub, which naturally provides 
great source code control, and just obsoleted my storage-provider wish list.


Looks like anything saved at hacklily.org becomes a public repository in 
the user's GitHub account. I supposed if someone wanted a setup like 
that for a private repository, for copyrighted works and such, they'd 
have to put up their own, private instance of Hacklily somewhere?

I would also like to try it but as was already mentioned it's too dark.
Is there a way to change the background color?

Personally I like the dark theme, but yes, it would probably be good to
have a theme changer -- maybe just light and dark to start with.

Are the functions in the Tools menu supposed to work?  I can't figure out
how to use them.

I like that you can save to GitHub.

Hi Joshua,

very nice. The auto-update of the output and the clef and key selection
are very intuitive.

I'd suggest to add a *save* to file (.ly) option for the save dialog.

I did not understand the *tools* dialogs the first time. The clef and
key change were easy to understand (for me) the note entry is a bit
difficult because the region where you can acutally insert the notes is
very small and if you don't find it, nothing happens. Perhaps that could
be enlarged such that all the space between two notes can be clicked for
new notes?

Thanks for your work!

Hi,

I've added a theme toggle to the menu. You may need to do a full refresh 
to see it (ctrl+shift+R).

Hi Joram,

That's useful feedback. I assume this is also the confusion that Knute 
had? I'll have to think about how to improve that.

Re: Introducing Hacklily, another online LilyPond editor

[Joshua Netterfield]

Hi Karlin,

In my mind, the main usecase for something like Hacklily is to share 
sheet music with others, and I plan to extend that part of Hacklily 
(e.g, by supporting publishes to GitHub Pages and thinking more about 
collaboration) in the future.


You can make the "sheet-music" repo private if you give money to GitHub. 
I may also think about other options for private sheet music if it looks 
like there is demand.


Best,
Joshua Netterfield

Re: Introducing Hacklily, another online LilyPond editor

[Knute Snortum]

I'm having trouble loading a LilyPond source file from GitHub.  I have a
very simple file here:

https://github.com/ksnortum/sheet-music

When I click on the dropdown on the top-left, I see AllCs.ly -- so far, so
good.  But when I click on it, I get the empty template, not my modified
source file.

The way to duplicate this, for me, was to Save/Share a file, then go back
and try to load any file.

I finally figured out how to use the tool.  What was confusing me was that
a) there was already a whole measure rest in the display bar, and b) that
you need to be pointing the mouse on the rest to add a note.
