Lilypond slow to start up on the Mac

New to Lilypond - Questions about using Python to structure Lilypond scores

I am brand new to Lilypond (and Frescobaldi), like a couple of days new. I am a music theory professor looking to use some computer skills I have (I know some Python) to aid my teaching and research. I am sorry if this is a really basic question, or if it's been answered elsewhere in these forums.

Hi Garreth, Since Lilypond is text based, you can obviously write Lilypond source files with Python and run them with Lilypond. In fact, several such projects already exists, for a (very) simple example, see https://www.python-course.eu/python_scores.php Erik > 23 apr. 2018 kl. 19:10 skrev
