Adding note names to a language

I would like to add the basic solfege note names to the english language module so that I can enter music (mostly chant) using solfege and then use `\transpose` to adjust its sounding pitch to create a midi file which can be used for practice. So far, I've done this by editing define-note-name

Request for help converting file - only slightly off-topic

Greetings - I've been given an .sib file, and I cannot open it. It's expected that I shall enter the music into LilyPond and transpose it into alto clef. I'm not sure of the legalities, but I don't think it should be a problem if someone with access to Sibelius could open the file, create a .pdf f

Haven't been a fan of some of the posts in this email thread (not too keen on prescriptions for How. To. Compose. Music.) But this bit is damned fine. I developed an idea about the history of music when I was working on my PhD in Music Theory - there are two fundamental (note that - fundamental, t

Pfft. Amateurs. Ahem: ". . . But later, an unmusical anarchy was led by poets who had natural talent, but were ignorant of the laws of music...Through foolishness they deceived themselves into thinking that there was no right or wrong way in music, that it was to be judged good or bad by the plea

Hi Urs, I assume you know to build the music-expression for the score in scheme. With that you can make use of #(scorify-music mymusic). That creates a score object *and* creates the necessary music for << \\ >> constructs an thew like. If you don't need that you can simply use #(ly:make-score

Hi all, I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know where to start looking in the manuals. I have a scheme-function that returns a \score expression, and I'm sure I wouldn't have to hop around between LilyPond and Scheme syntax like this: make-score = #(define-scheme-function (movement-path)(symb
