4.3.3 Invoking abc2ly
Nota: This is not currently supported and may eventually be removed from future versions of LilyPond.
ABC is a fairly simple ASCII based format. It is described at the ABC site:
abc2ly translates from ABC to LilyPond. It is invoked as
follows:
abc2ly [option]… abc-file
The following options are supported by abc2ly:
-
-b, --beams=None preserve ABC’s notion of beams
-
-h, --help this help
-
-o, --output=file set output filename to file.
-
-s, --strict be strict about success
-
--version print version information.
There is a rudimentary facility for adding LilyPond code to the ABC source file. For example;
%%LY voices \set autoBeaming = ##f
This will cause the text following the keyword ‘voices’ to be inserted into the current voice of the LilyPond output file.
Similarly,
%%LY slyrics more words
will cause the text following the ‘slyrics’ keyword to be inserted into the current line of lyrics.
Advertiments i problemes coneguts
The ABC standard is not very ‘standard’. For extended features (e.g., polyphonic music) different conventions exist.
Multiple tunes in one file cannot be converted.
ABC synchronizes words and notes at the beginning of a line;
abc2ly does not.
abc2ly ignores the ABC beaming.
