Inleiding
Ons Doel
De inspiratie voor LilyPond ontstond toen twee muzikanten meer wilden dan de ontzielde aanblik van met de computer geprinte bladmuziek. Muzikanten lezen het liefst mooie muziek dus waarom zouden programmeurs geen software kunnen schrijven waarmee je prachtige partijen kunt afdrukken?
Het resultaat is een systeem waarin muzikanten geen omkijken meer hebben naar layout-details, maar zich kunnen concentreren op het maken van muziek. LilyPond biedt hen de mogelijkheid om partijen te maken van publicatiekwalteit, volgens de beste tratities van klassieke muziekgravure.

Functies
Elegantie
Prachtige klassieke muziekgravure
Met LilyPond kunnen muzikanten elegante bladmuziek produceren die gemakkelijk leest. De community van ontwikkelaars heeft duizenden uren geïnvesteerd in het ontwikkelen van krachtige muzieknotatie-software die prachtige gegraveerde muziek oplevert. Alle stijlinstellingen, het speciaal ontworpen muziekfont en algoritmes zijn geïnspireerd op de mooiste handgegraveerde bladmuziek. De LilyPond-uitvoer ziet er net zo krachtig en harmonisch uit als de best gegraveerde klassieke partituren. Dit wordt verder uitgewerkt in ons Essay.
Effectieve layout-keuzes
Verlies minder tijd met het verfraaien van het resultaat; LilyPond verzint zelf de beste layout. Het bepaalt de spatiëring en het afbreken van regels en pagina’s, zodat een strakke en regelmatige layout ontstaat. Het voorkomt botsingen tussen liedteksten, noten en akkoorden en zet legatobogen en waardestrepen automatisch op de juiste manier!
Gebruiksgemak
Tekstgebaseerde invoer
LilyPond werkt met ASCII-invoer die je kunt aanleveren met jouw favoriete teksteditor, snel en comfortabel. De invoer bevat alle informatie, dus het onthouden van ingewikkelde reeksen commando’s is niet nodig: sla gewoon je invoerbestand op en je kunt alles later opnieuw raadplegen.
Combineer muziek en tekst
Voeg muziekfragmenten aan teksten toe zonder het knippen en plakken van plaatjes. Integreer muziek naadloos in LaTeX of HTML, of voeg muziek toe aan OpenOffice.org met behulp van OOoLilyPond. Plugins zijn ook beschikbaar voor het gebruik van LilyPond-code in verschillende blogs and wiki’s, wat online-samenwerking mogelijk maakt.
Toegankelijkheid
Tekstgebaseerde invoer maakt het schrijven van partituren ook toegankelijk voor gebruikers met ernstige lichamelijke beperkingen. Gebruikers met motorische beperkingen die niet kunnen typen of een muis kunnen besturen, kunnen spraakherkenningssoftware gebruiken om LilyPond-bestanden te bewerken. Zelfs blinde gebruikers kunnen voorleessoftware gebruiken voor het schrijven van LilyPond-bestanden – een onmogelijke taak in grafisch-gebaseerde muziekprogramma’s.
Uitbreidbaar ontwerp
Alle instellingen kunnen worden aangepast aan je eigen persoonlijke typografische voorkeuren. Als dat niet voldoende is, bestaat er nog altijd de ingebouwde scriptingtaal Scheme, een dialect van de krachtige programmeertaal LISP. Instellingen, variabelen en functies zijn allemaal beschreven in de uitvoerige referentiehandleiding van het programma.
Omgeving
Vrije software
LilyPond kan kostenloos worden gedownload! Ja hoor - het is gratis. Je kunt het downloaden van de downloadpagina.
Bovendien is het ook vrije software. Wat betekent dat je de broncode erbij krijgt, plus toestemming om deze te veranderen en te kopiëren. Dus als je je ergert aan een fout, of als er iets in het programma ontbreekt, kun je het zelf oplossen of iemand anders inhuren om het voor je te doen.
Uitstekende ondersteuning
LilyPond werkt op alle bekende besturingssystemen: GNU/Linux, MacOS X, en Windows. Er is een zeer uitgebreide handleiding met honderden voorbeeldbestandjes. Er is een actieve gebruikersgroep die antwoorden geeft op de lilypond-user mailinglijst, terwijl het ontwikkelingsteam ervoor zorgt dat problemen snel worden opgelost.
Verbeterde editors
Verscheidene ontwikkelaars, zelf actieve gebruikers van LilyPond, hebben ook gereedschappen geschreven die speciaal bedoeld zijn om het invoeren van LilyPond-bestanden sneller en effectiever te maken. Een aantal voorbeelden is te vinden in Eenvoudiger bewerken.
En nu?
Nog steeds niet overtuigd? Bekijk dan maar eens enkele specifieke Voorbeelden. Heb je al besloten LilyPond te gaan proberen, lees dan eerst over onze Tekstinvoer.
Voorbeelden
LilyPond is een krachtig en flexibel gereedschap voor uiteenlopende muzieknotatie-taken. Bekijk ter inspiratie eens onze galerij met voorbeelden!
Klassieke Muziek
Dit orgelwerk van J.S. Bach is een typisch LilyPond-project.

Ingewikkelde muzieknotatie
Dit voorbeeld uit Goyescas van Enrique Granados laat geavanceerde typesettingsfuncties zien, zoals waardestrepen met knie, stokken tussen notenbalken en melodie-volglijntjes.
(Klik om te vergroten)
Vroege muziek
LilyPond geeft ook ondersteuning voor verscheidene verouderde notatievormen zoals dit Gregoriaanse liedfragment.
(Klik om te vergroten)
Moderne muziek
Hedendaagse componisten vinden dat LilyPond zich goed leent voor het tonen van ongebruikelijke notatie. Hier is een fragment uit Trevor Bača’s Čáry, voor solo basfluit.
(Klik om te vergroten)
Maak efficiënte, flexibele partijen voor uitvoerenden
Vanuit één en dezelfde broncode kunnen allerlei soorten partijen worden gemaakt. Dit is een fragment uit Nicolas Sceaux’s gravure van Handels Giulio Cesare, als volledige partituur, piano-zang reductie, en een vioolpartij.

Tablatuur
LilyPond ondersteunt tablatuurnotatie die kan worden aangepast aan elk intrument dat van tablatuur kan spelen. De tablatuurbalk wordt automatisch gegenereerd op basis van de noten die voor de vijf-lijns notenbalk zijn ingevoerd.
(Klik om te vergroten)
Schenker-diagrammen
De standaard uitvoer kan ingrijpend worden veranderd. Dit is een indrukwekkende Schenker-analyse, gemaakt door Kris Schaffer, voor een artikel in in Linux Journal. Voor de duidelijkheid zijn hier kleuren toegevoegd.
(Klik om te vergroten)
Vocale muziek
LilyPond blinkt uit in alle soorten vocale muziek, van psalmen en gezangen tot opera. Hier is een Middeleeuws motet met enigszins ongebruikelijke eisen. De tenorstem is in een andere maatsoort genoteerd dan de anderen, maar moet uitgelijnd zijn als ware het dezelfde maatsoort. LilyPond doet dit bijzonder elegant. Let ook op de incipits met sleutels in de Vaticana stijl, de doorgestreepte stokken die gepliceerde noten aangeven en de ligatuurhaken boven bepaalde groepen noten.
(Klik om te vergroten)
Educatieve doeleinden
LilyPond is ook perfect voor educatieve doeleinden. Hier is een voorbeeld van een eenvoudige contrapunt-oefening.
(Klik om te vergroten)
Populaire muziek
Het is eenvoudig om zogenaamde pop leadsheets met melodie, songtekst, akkoordnamen, en fretboard-diagrammen te maken. In dit voorbeeld zie je enkele van de voorgedefiniëerde fretboard-diagrammen, maar ze kunnen ook ingrijpend veranderd worden voor vrijwel elke andere situatie.
(Klik om te vergroten)
Grote projecten
LilyPond is uitstekend voor grote projecten zoals opera’s of werken voor groot symfonieorkest. Daarnaast levert de tekstgebaseerde invoer een grotere toegankelijkheid – dit voorbeeld is een bijdrage van Hu Haipeng, een blinde componist.

En nu?
Nog steeds niet overtuigd? LilyPond is Vrije Software, die jou Vrijheid geeft. Heb je al besloten LilyPond te gaan proberen, lees dan eerst over onze Tekstinvoer.
Vrijheid
Vrije Software
GNU LilyPond is geschreven en wordt onderhouden door een groep enthousiaste liefhebbers. Het wordt uitgebracht onder de GNU General Public License (GNU Algemene Publieke Licentie) en de GNU Free Documentation License (GNU Vrije Documentatie Licentie), hetgeen iedereen de vrijheid geeft het programma te verbeteren, veranderen en uit te breiden. Het maken van prachtige muziek zou geen honderden euro’s aan software moeten kosten!
Wat zijn de voordelen voor gebruikers?
- Geen kosten: download en probeer het! Wat heb je te verliezen?
- Delen: als het programma je bevalt, geef dan een kopie aan je vrienden, docenten, studenten, en collega’s.
- Broncode beschikbaar: als je benieuwd bent hoe LilyPond bepaalde notatie maakt, kun je precies zien hoe het in zijn werk gaat.
-
Uitbreidbaar: je kunt functies toevoegen, fouten repareren,
en de functionaliteit veranderen. Als je geen programmeur
bent, kun je iemand inhuren die het voor je doet.
Dit mag misschien niet zo aantrekkelijk lijken voor sommige muzikanten, maar de mogelijkheid om software uit te breiden kan van groot belang zijn voor serieuze componisten, bedrijven en wetenschappers.
- Veilige toekomst: als een commerciëel bedrijf bankroet gaat, wat gebeurt er dan met de elektronische muziek die afhankelijk is van hun producten? Dit bezwaar bestaat niet met LilyPond; zelfs wanneer het gehele ontwikkelteam ermee stop (bijzonder onwaarschijnlijk), zal het programma nog steeds legaal beschikbaar zijn om te kopiëren, wijzigen en te distribueren.
Waarom “geven” LilyPond-ontwikkelaars hun werk gratis “weg”?
De meesten van ons zien het ontwikkelen van LilyPond als een hobby of als vrijwilligerswerk. Dus de vraag is eigenlijk “waarom willen mensen vrijwilliger zijn”?
- Plezier: naar een doel toewerken kan prettig zijn, vooral wanneer je het met een team doet!
- Gedeelde doelen: we willen allemaal prachtige bladmuziek, maar weinig mensen hebben de expertise (en niemand heeft de tijd!), om een programma te maken dat alle situaties aan kan. Door samen te werken – één verbetert de automatische waardestreepcode, een ander verbetert de vorm van de legatoboogjes, en een derde schrijft documentatie waarin wordt uitgelegd hoe je deze functies kunt gebruiken – kunnen we samen onze doelen bereiken met een fractie van de individuele inzet.
- “Geef-cultuur”: de Vrije Software beweging heeft veel geweldige software projecten opgeleverd, zoals GNU/Linux, Mozilla Firefox, en Battle for Wesnoth. Omdat ze van deze projecten geprofiteerd hebben, willen sommige ontwikkelaars iets “terug doen” voor de community.
- Werkervaring: bijdragen aan vrije software projecten is een mooie manier om te oefenen met programmeren, het schrijven van documentatie, het vertalen van documentatie, of ontwerpen. Deze ervaring heeft sommige ontwikkelaars zelfs een baan of een beurs opgeleverd.

Gebruikerservaringen
Carter Brey, Aanvoerder van de celli, New York Philharmonic
“…Ik heb een paar toegiften geschreven voor solo-cello die ik heb afgedrukt met LilyPond en die ik aan Schirmer zal voorleggen ter publicatie. Ik weet zeker dat hun gegraveerde versie niet half zo gelikt is als de mijne!”
Orm Finnendahl, professor in de compositieleer, Musikhochschule Freiburg
“Hoewel ik [LilyPond] nog niet zo goed ken, ben ik erg onder de indruk. Ik heb het programma gebruikt om een motet van Josquin Desprez in te voeren in mensurale notatie. LilyPond overtreft zonder twijfel en met gemak alle andere muzieknotatieprogramma’s voor wat betreft snelheid, gebruiksgemak en schoonheid!”
Darius Blasband, componist (Brussels, Belgium)
“[..na de eerste orkestrepetitie] kreeg ik heel veel complimenten over de kwaliteit van de partituren. En wat nog veel mooier is: terwijl LilyPond allerlei manieren biedt om te zorgen dat de partituren er nog mooier uitzien, kreeg het orkest van mij slechts de ruwe, ongewijzigde LilyPond-output.”
Kieren MacMillan, componist (Toronto, Canada)
“Dank en lof voor het ontwikkelteam voor hun fantastische werk. Ik heb nog nooit iets gezien wat maar in de buurt komt van de output die ik bereik met LilyPond – Ik ben er zeker van dat dit fantastische programma aan al mijn muziekpublicatie-wensen kan voldoen en deze zelfs zal overtreffen. [..] hoofdzakelijk pure LilyPond output [..] ziet er beter uit dan de meeste recente ‘professionele’ uitgaven waarmee ik het heb vergeleken (q.v., zo ongeveer elke Warner Bros. partituur, en zelfs een groot deel van de meest recente partituren van de ‘de oude muziekuitgeverijen’). [..]”
“Doe ze dat maar eens na, Finale/Sibelius/Igor/of wie dan ook!!!”
Chris Cannam, hoofdontwikkelaar van het RoseGarden project
“LilyPond is overduidelijk een zwaargewicht [in de categorie prachtige muziek zetten].”
Chris Snyder, Adoro Music Publishing
“De wijze waarop muziek wordt ingevoerd voor LilyPond laat mij op een muzikalere manier denken – het is enkele malen voorgekomen dat ik vertwijfeld was hoe ik Lelie nu zou kunnen vertellen iets te graveren, om mezelf te realiseren dat zelf wanneer het me precies zo zou lukken als de componist het wilde, de muziek lastig te lezen zou zijn. LilyPond maakt het mij een stuk eenvoudiger om in mijn dubbele redacteur+graveer rol te werken.”
“Voor mijn beginnende muziekuitgeverij heb ik uitsluitend LilyPond gebruikt. Vrijwel zonder uitzondering werd elke componist overrompeld door de kwaliteit van de gravure waneer ik hem de proefdrukken van zijn muziek presenteerde. Ik verdien zelf ook een deel van deze lof – ik heb veel tijd besteed aan het verfijnen van de uitvoer, met name overbindingen (hoofdzakelijk in akkoorden) – maar LilyPond biedt me een uitstekend uitgangspunt, een erg intuïtieve interface, plus de mogelijkheid om absoluut alles te veranderen als ik daar de tijd voor wil nemen. Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat geen commercieel product hierbij ook maar enigszins in de buurt kan komen.”
David Bobroff, bastrombonist, Iceland Symphony Orchestra
“Ik vind LilyPond fantastisch [..] Hoe beter ik het programma leer kennen, hoe mooier ik het vind!”
Vaylor Trucks, elektrische gitaar (Ja, verwant aan)
“Ik ben zwaar onder de indruk van LilyPond [..]”
“DIT IS HET BESTE PROGRAMMA OOIT!!!”
“ENORM bedankt allemaal voor jullie fantastische werk en toewijding!”
Nicolas Sceaux, Mutopia bijdrager
“Ik had een soort haat/liefde-verhouding met LilyPond. Liefde omdat de eerste partituur die ik zag er zo fantastisch uit zag! De beschrijving van de elegantie van LilyPond klopt niet, het is nog veel mooier! [..] aangezien LilyPond nog altijd beter wordt, en naarmate ik beter doorzie hoe dingen worden gedaan in scheme, heb ik steeds minder last van frustraties. Nouja, wat ik eigenlijk wil zeggen is: dank jullie wel voor LilyPond, het is prachtig.”
Werner Lemberg, Dirigent bij het Theater van Koblenz in Duitsland en een befaamde GNU-hacker
“Hoe dan ook, LilyPond levert een verbazingwekkend goed resultaat!”
Paul Davis, ontwikkelaar van JACK en Ardour
“Ik vind [LilyPond] een ongelofelijk programma, en het produceert prachtige, schitterende output. Toen ik vorig jaar een interview over LilyPond las, kon ik niet wachten om aan een paar vrienden van mij te laten zien hoeveel potentie het wel niet heeft.”
Dr. Mika Kuuskankare, onderzoeker aan de Sibelius Academy Finland, componist en auteur van Expressive Notation Package (ENP)
“Ik heb het diepste respect voor LilyPond en haar scheppers en beheerders omdat ik uit persoonlijke ervaring weet hoe moeilijk dit soort software kan zijn.”
David Cameron, Muzikant, professioneel typesetter en sinds lang SCORE-gebruiker
“Mijn hartelijke dank aan iedereen die bijdraagtaan dit project. Ik was een power SCORE-gebruiker voor grote zetwerk huizen lang geleden in de jaren ’90, maar voor mijn gevoel maakt LilyPond het mogelijk om precies datgene op papier te krijgen wat ik wil, in het bijzonder als het niet "standaard" praktijk is.”

Tekstinvoer
Muziek “Compileren”
(klik om te vergroten)
LilyPond is een batch programma: het wordt uitgevoerd op een tekstbestand waarin de muziek wordt beschreven. Het resultaat kan op het beeldscherm worden bekeken of worden afgedrukt. In bepaalde opzichten lijkt LilyPond meer op een programmeertaal dan op een grafisch muziekprogramma.
Je schrijft de muziek niet door noten van een grafische werkbalk naar een zichzelf dynamisch verversende partituur te slepen; je schrijft muziek door het intypen van tekst. Deze tekst word geïnterpreteerd (of “gecompileerd”) door LilyPond, die hiervan prachtig gegraveerde bladmuziek maakt.
Mensen die gewend zijn aan een grafische gebruikersinterface moeten wellicht een nieuwe manier van werken aanleren, maar de resultaten zijn de moeite meer dan waard!
Nota bene : We presenteren een kort overzicht van onze tekstinvoer – het is niet zo ingewikkeld als het klinkt! Maak je geen zorgen, je hoeft niet elk detail in deze voorbeelden te begrijpen; in onze beginnershandleiding wordt alles stap voor stap uitgelegd.
Waarom moeilijk doen als het ook makkelijk kan?
Noten worden gecodeerd met letters en nummers. Speciale commando’s worden ingevoerd met een backslash.
Verplaatsingen worden gevormd met verschillende benamingen:
voeg -is toe voor een kruis en -es voor een
mol. LilyPond bepaalt zelf waar de toevallige tekens
geplaatst worden.
Popmuziek
Combineer akkoorden en songteksten om zogenaamde leadsheets te maken:
Orkestpartijen
Het invoerbestand bevat de noten van het muziekstuk. Partituur en partijen kunnen vanuit dit zelfde invoerbestand worden gemaakt. Dus het veranderen van een noot heeft altijd invloed op partijen en partituur, zodat beide altijd up-to-date zijn. Om dezelfde muziek op verschillende plaatsen te kunnen invoegen, moet aan de noten een “variable” (een naam) worden toegekend.
Deze variabele wordt vervolgens in één partij gebruikt (hier getransponeerd en met samengevoegde rusten):
Dezelfde variabele wordt ook in de volledige partituur gebruikt (hier klinkend en met uitgeschreven rusten):
Beginnershandleiding
We realiseren ons dat veel gebruikers deze manier van muziek invoeren een beetje vreemd vinden. Daarom hebben we een uitgebreide handleiding geschreven om nieuwe gebruikers op weg te helpen, te beginnen met Beginnen. Het beste kun je beginnen met deze beginnershandleiding omdat hierin de meeste vragen worden beantwoord.
Lees liever eerst de beginnershandleiding alvorens eventuele fouten in het programma aan ons te melden! Nieuwe gebruikers denken soms dat LilyPond niet goed werkt, terwijl het in feite precies werkt zoals de bedoeling is.
Verdere informatie is beschikbaar in Handleidingen.
Omgevingen voor eenvoudiger bewerken
Tunefl
Met tunefl kun je partituren direct online zetten, zonder LilyPond op je computer te installeren. Het is mogelijk om alle functies van het programma te proberen in een eenvoudige web interface.
(klik om te vergroten)
LilyPond gaat hoofdzakelijk over het produceren van gegraveerde bladmuziek van topkwaliteit; het maken van een Grafische Gebruikers Interface (GUI) zou ons enkel van dit doel afleiden. Er zijn wel andere projecten die als doel hebben het maken van LilyPond-invoer gemakkelijker te maken.
Sommige omgevingen hebben syntax highlighting, automatische commando aanvulling, en voorbereide sjablonen. Andere programma’s bieden een GUI die directe manipulatie van een grafische partituur mogelijk maakt. Voor meer informatie, zie Eenvoudiger bewerken.

http://lilypondtool.organum.hu
Gemaakt als een plugin voor de jEdit teksteditor, is LilyPondTool één van de tekstgebaseerde gereedschappen met de meeste functies voor het bewerken van LilyPond-partituren. Functies omvatten een Document-wizard met liedtekstondersteuning om documenten eenvoudiger op te stellen, en geïntegreerde PDF-viewer met geavanceerde point-and-click ondersteuning.
Frescobaldi
(klik om te vergroten)
Frescobaldi is een LilyPond bladmuziek-editor. Krachtig, lichtgewicht en gemakkelijk te gebruiken en met ingebouwde PDF viewer. Het draait op alle belangrijke platformen (GNU/Linux, Mac OS X en Windows).
Grafische omgeving: Denemo
(klik om te vergroten)
Denemo is een grafische editor die LilyPond-broncode genereert, en ook audio afspeelt. Hiermee kunnen gebruikers LilyPond-broncode parallel weergeven met het grafische beeld. Extra LilyPond-verfijningen (tweaks) kunnen aan noten, akkoorden enz. worden gekoppeld en worden opgeslagen in het Denemo-bestand, zodat gebruikers toch grafisch verder kunnen bewerken.
Het verplaatsen van de cursor in de LilyPond-tekst verplaatst ook de cursor in het grafische beeld, en syntaxfouten in LilyPond-verfijningen (tweaks) worden gehighlight in het tekstvenster.
Tekst omgeving
Elysium is een LilyPond-omgeving (IDE) voor Eclipse met een geïntegreerd beeld voor broncode en partituur naast elkaar. Het heeft snelle visuele en auditieve terugkoppeling zonder te hoeven schakelen, en heeft veel wizard-gebaseerde sjablonen.
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
Emacs is een teksteditor met taalgevoelige functies voor veel verschillende computertalen. Emacs is een in hoge mate uitbreidbare editor en kan gebruikt worden als een Geïntegreerde Ontwikkel Omgeving (IDE). Er is een ‘lilypond mode’ die de taaldefinities voor het werken met LilyPond-broncodebestanden levert. Verder heeft een van onze ontwikkelaars lyqi geschreven, een Emacs major mode.
Vim is een minimale teksteditor en is een uitbreiding van de
oudere Unix vi-editor. Het is uitbreidbaar en
configureerbaar.
Als algemene regel geldt dat, wanneer je nog niet bekend bent met Emacs of Vim, je waarschijnlijk liever een andere editor verkiest voor het schrijven van LilyPond-invoerbestanden.
Meer informatie over instellingen voor Emacs en Vim is te vinden in Text editor support.

Gereedschappen voor de commandoregel
- Abjad, een Python API voor Formalized Score Control, ontworpen om componisten ingewikkelde stukken LilyPond-notatie op te laten bouwen op een iteratieve en incrementele manier.
- FOMUS, een LISP-bibliotheek voor het genereren van muzieknotatie vanuit computermuziek softwareomgevingen.
- Strasheela, een omgeving gebouwd bovenop de Mozart/Oz constraint-gebaseerde programmeertaal.
Andere programma’s die niet actief worden ontwikkeld
- LilyKDE is vervangen door Frescobaldi, en bestaat alleen nog als LilyKDE3 voor KDE 3.5 en lilypond-KDE4 voor KDE 4.1.
- NoteEdit, dat MusicXML importeerde, is geforkt in NtEd en Canorus.
- LilyComp is een grafisch nootinvoer-programma en werkt ongeveer als een numeriek toetsenbord dat LilyPond noten produceert.
En nu?
Je bent nu zover om LilyPond te downloaden.
Nog steeds niet overtuigd? Veel componisten, muzikanten en drigenten hebben geleerd muziek te schrijven in ons invoerformaat. Ervaren gebruikers melden dat ze een volledige partituur sneller kunnen invoeren in LilyPond dan met een pianoklavier of muis+GUI! Misschien wil je de Functies, Voorbeelden of Vrijheid herlezen, of wil je lezen over Producties en Recenties van gebruikers. Onze aanpak van berekende esthetiek van klassieke muziekgravure wordt beschreven in Achtergrond.

Generieke pakketten of distributie-pakketten?
Veel Linux-distributies (zoals Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu) leveren LilyPond mee als onderdeel van hun normale software-pakketsysteem. Zo’n LilyPond-pakket is eenvoudiger te installeren en verwijderen dan een generiek pakket, maar het kan een verouderde versie zijn. Als je liever één van onze generieke pakketten wilt gebruiken, verwijder dan eerst de officiële versie van LilyPond met het normale pakketbeheer van je distributie (softwarecentrum). Zie de documentatie van je distributie voor hoe je het pakketbeheer of softwarecentrum gebruikt.

Installeren
Dubbelklik het gedownloade bestand, sleep het dan naar de plaats waar je het wilt hebben.
Verwijderen
Verwijder de LilyPond.app map.
Een bestand compileren
Nota bene : Deze instructies veronderstellen dat je de de LilyPond applicate gebruikt. Als je een van de andere programma’s gebruikt die beschreven staan in Eenvoudiger bewerken, raadpleeg dan de documentatie voor dat programma als je problemen hebt.
Stap 1. Maak je ‘.ly’-bestand
Dubbelklik de LilyPond.app, een voorbeeldbestand
wordt geopend.
Uit de menu’s links bovenaan je scherm, kies
Bestand > Opslaan.
Kies een naam voor je bestand, bijvoorbeeld ‘test.ly’.
Stapp 2. Compileer (met LilyPad)
Uit dezelfde menu’s, kies
Compile > Tyepset.
Een nieuw venster opent en toont een voortgangslog van de compilatie van het bestand dat je zojuist hebt opgeslagen.
Stap 3. Bekijk de uitvoer
Zodra de compilatie klaar is, wordt een PDF-bestand gemaakt met dezelfde naam als het originele bestand en dat wordt automatisch geopend in de standaard PDF-viewer en op je scherm getoond.
Andere commando’s
Een nieuw LilyPond bestand maken, doe je door het kiezen van
Bestand > Nieuw
of je opent met Bestand > Openen een bestaand bestand
om te bewerken.
Als je een bestand bewerkt hebt, moet je het eerst opslaan
voordat je Compile > Typeset doet en als het
PDF-bestand niet wordt getoond, controleer dan het venster
met de voortgangslog op foutmeldingen.
Als je geen gebruik maakt van de standaard Preview PDF-viewer die onderdeel is van het Mac Operating systeem en je hebt het PDF-bestand van een vorige compilatie nog open staan, dan kan het zijn dan alle volgende compileerpogingen niet slagen in het genereren van een nieuwe PDF totdat je het originele venster sluit.
Uitvoeren op de commandoregel
Nota bene : Als je liever de GUI gebruikt, sla deze instructies dan over.
MacOS X op de commandoregel
De handigste manier om LilyPond-scripts uit te voeren is door middel van het maken van je eigen “hulp”scripts.
-
Maak een map en sla deze scripts op,
mkdir -p ~/bin cd ~/bin
-
Maak een bestand genaamd
lilypondmet als inhoud#! /bin/bash exec MAP/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@"
Nota bene : MAP is normaal gesproken
/Applications/ -
Maak gelijksoortige bestanden
lilypond-book,convert-ly, en andere scripts die je wilt gebruiken, door het commandobin/lilypondte vervangen metbin/convert-ly(of een andere programmanaam). -
Maak het bestand executeerbaar,
chmod u+x lilypond
-
Voeg nu deze map toe aan je pad. Wijzig het bestand genaamd
.profilein je persoonlijke map (of maak een nieuwe aan) zodat het het volgende bevatexport PATH=$PATH:~/bin
Het bestand moet eindigen met een lege regel.
Afzonderlijke scripts uitvoeren
De scripts — zoals lilypond-book,
convert-ly, abc2ly, en zelfs
lilypond — worden meegeleverd met het
.app bestand voor MacOS X.
Scripts kunnen ook worden uitgevoerd op de commandoregel door ze direct aan te roepen:
pad/naar/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond
Dat geldt ook voor alle andere scripts in die map, zoals
lilypond-book en convert-ly.

Windows: LilyPond 2.18.2-1
Voor Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7 en 8.
Installeren
- Zoek het gedownloade bestand en dubbelklik het om het te installeren. Volg de instructies op die de installer je geeft; wij raden je aan alle installatiekeuzes aangevinkt te laten en de standaard aangegeven locatie te gebruiken. Klik op de ‘Finish’ knop als de installer klaar is. LilyPond is nu geïnstalleerd.
Verwijderen
Om LilyPond te verwijderen:
- Zoek de LilyPond-map in het menu ‘Start’ en klik op het ‘Uninstall’ icoon. Klik op de ‘Finish’ knop als de uninstaller klaar is.
- Ofwel: vanuit het Configuratiescherm, kies Programma’s en onderdelen, zoek en selecteer LilyPond en kies de optie verwijderen/wijzigen. Klik op de ‘Finish’ knop als de uninstaller klaar is.
Een bestand compileren
Nota bene : Deze instructies veronderstellen dat je gebruik maakt van de ingebouwde LilyPad-editor. Als je een van de andere programma’s gebruikt die beschreven staan in Eenvoudiger bewerken, raadpleeg dan de documentatie voor dat programma als je problemen hebt met het compileren van een bestand.
Stap 1. Maak je ‘.ly’-bestand
Dubbelklik het LilyPond ikoon op je Bureaublad, een voorbeeldbestand wordt geopend.
Kies uit de menu’s bovenaan het voorbeeldbestand
Bestand > Opslaan als. De optie Bestand
> Opslaan kun je voor dit voorbeeldbestand niet gebruiken
als je het nog geen geldige LilyPond-naam hebt gegeven.
Kies een naam voor je bestand, bijvoorbeeld ‘test.ly’.
Stap 2a. Compileer (door slepen en neerzetten - drag and drop)
Afhankelijk van wat je voorkeur heeft, compileer je je bestand door ofwel:
te slepen en neer te zetten bovenop het LilyPond ikoon, ofwel
met de tweede muisknop op het bestand te klikken en uit het
popup-contextmenu Open met > LilyPond te kiezen.
Stap 2b. Compileer (door te dubbelklikken)
Of dubbelklik het ‘test.ly’ bestand.
Stap 3. Bekijk de uitvoer
Tijdens het compileren van het ‘test.ly’ bestand, wordt een commandovenster geopend dat zich na korte tijd weer sluit. Tijdens dit proces worden drie extra bestanden aangemaakt.
Het PDF-bestand bevat het gegraveerde ‘test.ly’ bestand.
Andere commando’s
Om een nieuw bestand te maken, kies Bestand > Nieuw vanuit
een eerder gemaakt bestand of gebruik Bestand > Openen
om een eerder gemaakt bestand te openen en te bewerken.
Als je een bestand bewerkt hebt, moet je het eerst opslaan voordat je het compileert en als het PDF-bestand niet wordt aangemaakt, controleer dan het venster met de voortgangslog op foutmeldingen.
Dit logbestand wordt elke keer overschreven als je je LilyPond-bestand compileert.
Het PS-bestand wordt LilyPond intern gebruikt als tussenstap om het PDF-bestand aan te maken, je kunt het verder negeren. Dit bestand wordt ook elke keer overschreven als je je LilyPond-bestand compileert.
Als je je bestand bekijkt met een PDF-viewer, dan moet je de PDF sluiten als je een nieuwe compilatie wilt doen omdat het genereren van een nieuwe PDF kan mislukken zolang je de oude nog aan het bekijken bent.
Uitvoeren op de commandoregel
Nota bene : Als je liever de GUI gebruikt, sla deze instructies dan over.

GPL
Software licentie
GNU LilyPond wordt uitgebracht onder de GNU General Public License (GNU Algemene Publieke Licentie). Een inleiding op deze licentie en de redenen om voor deze keuze, wordt gegeven in Vrijheid.
GNU General Public License
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. http://fsf.org/ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
Preamble
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program—to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
For the developers’ and authors’ protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users’ and authors’ sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users’ freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
- Definitions.
“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
- Source Code.
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work.
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.
The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work’s System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
- Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
- Protecting Users’ Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work’s users, your or third parties’ legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
- Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
- Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
- The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
- The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
- You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
- If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
- Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
- Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
- Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
- Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
- Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
- Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.
A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
- Additional Terms.
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
- Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
- Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
- Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
- Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
- Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
- Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
- Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
- Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
- Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party’s predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
- Patents.
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor’s “contributor version”.
A contributor’s “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor’s essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient’s use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
- No Surrender of Others’ Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
- Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.
- Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
- Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
- Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
- Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does. Copyright (C) year name of author This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program. If not, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/. |
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
program Copyright (C) year name of author This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘show w’. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type ‘show c’ for details. |
The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program’s commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/.
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first, please read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html.

Snippers
Snippers
Dit toont een geselecteerde set LilyPond-snippers (codefragementen) uit de LilyPond Snippet Repository (LSR). Al deze snippers zijn publiek domein.
Let op dat dit document geen exacte deelverzameling is van de LSR. LSR draait een stabiele versie van LilyPond, dus elke snipper die nieuwe functies demonstreert van een ontwikkelversie moet apart worden toegevoegd. Deze worden opgeslagen in ‘Documentation/snippets/new/’ in de LilyPond source tree.
De lijst met snippers voor elke subsectie van de notatie zijn ook gekoppeld vanuit het Zie ook gedeelte.

Documentatie-licentie
De documentatie voor GNU LilyPond is uitgegeven onder de GNU Free Documentation License. Een inleiding op deze licentie en onze redenen om hiervoor te kiezen, wordt gegeven in Vrijheid.
GNU Free Documentation License 1.1
Version 1.3, 3 November 2008
Copyright © 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. http://fsf.org/ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |

PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document free in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of “copyleft”, which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
-
APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The “Document”, below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as “you”. You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.
A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document’s overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.
The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work’s title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
The “publisher” means any person or entity that distributes copies of the Document to the public.
A section “Entitled XYZ” means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, “Endorsements”, or “History”.) To “Preserve the Title” of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section “Entitled XYZ” according to this definition.
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.
-
VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.
-
COPYING IN QUANTITY
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document’s license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
-
MODIFICATIONS
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
- Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
- List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.
- State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.
- Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
- Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.
- Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
- Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document’s license notice.
- Include an unaltered copy of this License.
- Preserve the section Entitled “History”, Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled “History” in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.
- Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the “History” section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
- For any section Entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”, Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
- Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
- Delete any section Entitled “Endorsements”. Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.
- Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled “Endorsements” or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
- Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version’s license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
-
COMBINING DOCUMENTS
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled “History” in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled “History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled “Acknowledgements”, and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You must delete all sections Entitled “Endorsements.”
-
COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
-
AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document’s Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.
-
TRANSLATION
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, or “History”, the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title.
-
TERMINATION
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does not give you any rights to use it.
-
FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.
-
RELICENSING
“Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site” (or “MMC Site”) means any World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration” (or “MMC”) contained in the site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site.
“CC-BY-SA” means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license published by that same organization.
“Incorporate” means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in part, as part of another Document.
An MMC is “eligible for relicensing” if it is licensed under this License, and if all works that were first published under this License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.
The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page:
Copyright (C) year your name. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU Free Documentation License''. |
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the “with…Texts.” line with this:
with the Invariant Sections being list their titles, with
the Front-Cover Texts being list, and with the Back-Cover Texts
being list.
|
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.

Tiny examples
Why create them?
- The simpler the example is, the quicker potential helpers can understand it and help you.
- A tiny example demonstrates that you have put effort towards solving the problem yourself. When people send huge portions of input, it looks like they don’t care if we help them or not.
- Creating a tiny example helps you to understand what is happening. Many false problem reports can be avoided by attempting to create a tiny example; if you cannot replicate a “bug” in a tiny example, then the problem was probably an insufficient understanding of LilyPond, not an actual bug!
How to create them?
-
Include the
\versionnumber. - Make it small! Examples about spacing or page layout might require many bars of music, but most issues can be reproduced using less than a single measure.
-
When trying to create an example, try commenting out (
%or%{ … %}) sections of your file. If you can comment something while still demonstrating the main idea, then remove the commented-material. - Avoid using complicated notes, keys or time signatures, unless the bug is about the behavior of those items.
-
Do not use
\overrideor\setcommands unless the bug is about those specific commands. - Optionally, attach an image showing the desired graphical output.
How tiny should they be?
Is the code below a minimal example?
\version "2.14.1"
\include "english.ly"
\score {
\new Staff {
\key d \major
\numericTimeSignature
\time 2/4
<cs' d'' b''>16 <cs' d'' b''>8.
%% Here: the tie on the D's looks funny
%% Too tall? Left-hand endpoint is not aligned with the B tie?
~
<cs' d'' b''>8 [ <b d'' a''> ]
}
}
Well, it is not very big, but a truly minimal example is here:
\version "2.14.1"
{
% middle tie looks funny here:
<c' d'' b''>8. ~ <c' d'' b''>8
}
Very few tiny examples exceed 10 lines of code - quite often 4 lines are enough to demonstrate the problem!
Bug reports
If you have input that results in a crash or wrong output, then that is a bug.
Step 1: Known bugs
We may already know about this bug. Check here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/
Nota bene : Please DO NOT add bug reports directly to the bug tracker. Once an issue has been added to the tracker, feel free to add more information to that report.
Step 2: Creating a bug report
If you have discovered a bug which is not listed, please help us by creating a bug report.
Nota bene : We only accept reports in the form of Tiny examples. We have very limited resources, so any non-minimal example will be rejected. Almost every bug can be demonstrated in four notes or less!
Here is an example of a good bug report:
% Accidentals should be printed for only
% the first note in a tie, but this version
% prints flats on both notes.
\version "2.10.1"
\relative c'' {
bes1 ~
bes1
}
Step 3: Sending a bug report
Once you have verified that the issue is not already known and created a bug report, please send it to us!
- If you are subscribed to the bug-lilypond@gnu.org mailing list, send an email like normal.
-
If you are not subscribed, you can still post a bug report with
the
gmane lilypond.bugs web interface.
However, there is a strict “no top-posting” check on the gmane interface, which is often incorrectly triggered by lilypond files. To avoid this, please add:
> I'm not top posting.
(you must include the
>) to the top of your bug report.
Step 4: Wait for a response
Once your bug report has been sent to the list, our Bug Squad will examine it; they may ask you for more information. You will be notified when the report will be added to the bug tracker. Please allow up to 4 days, as we have a limited number of volunteers for this task.
Once a bug has been added to the tracker, you can comment it to add more information about it. In order to be automatically notified about any activity on the tracker issue, you may subscribe by clicking the envelope symbol next to the issue title. Commenting and subscribing require being logged in with a sourceforge account.
Optional help: show the desired behavior
Once an issue has been added to the tracker, it can be very helpful if we can see the desired output. Feel free to add input code and/or images (possibly created with other tools) which demonstrate what you think it should look like!
Help us
We need you!
Thank you for your interest in helping us — we would love to see you get involved! Your contribution will help a large group of users make beautifully typeset music.
Even working on small tasks can have a big impact: taking care of them allows experienced developers work on advanced tasks, instead of spending time on those simple tasks.
For a multi-faceted project like LilyPond, sometimes it’s tough to know where to begin. In addition to the avenues proposed below, you can send an e-mail to the lilypond-devel@gnu.org mailing list, and we’ll help you to get started.
Simple tasks
No programming skills required!
- Mailing list support: answer questions from fellow users.
- Bug reporting: help users create proper Bug reports, and/or join the Bug Squad to organize Issues.
- Documentation: small changes can be proposed by following the guidelines for Documentation suggestions.
- LilyPond Snippet Repository (LSR): create and fix snippets following the guidelines in Adding and editing snippets.
- Discussions, reviews, and testing: the developers often ask for feedback about new documentation, potential syntax changes, and testing new features. Please contribute to these discussions!
Advanced tasks
These jobs generally require that you have the source code and can compile LilyPond.
Nota bene : We suggest that contributors using Windows or MacOS X do not attempt to set up their own development environment; instead, use Lilydev as discussed in Quick start.
Contributors using Linux or FreeBSD may also use Lilydev, but if they prefer their own development environment, they should read Working with source code, and Compiling.
Begin by reading Summary for experienced developers.
- Documentation: for large changes, see Documentation work.
- Website: the website is built from the normal documentation source. See the info about documentation, and also Website work.
- Translations: see Translating the documentation, and Translating the website.
- Bugfixes or new features: read Programming work.
Sponsoring
Bounties
In the past,
- some users have paid for new features
- some developers have added new features for hire
The LilyPond project does not organize such efforts; we neither endorse nor discourage such agreements. Any contracts between private individuals is the business of those individuals, not ours.
Guidelines
Any user wanting to offer money in exchange for work should bear in mind the following points:
- LilyPond developers may advertise their services on the lilypond email lists from time to time.
- Any agreements between private individuals should include the normal precautions when conducting business: who pays, how much do they pay, with what method of payment, and upon what set of conditions. We suggest that any ambiguity or uncertainty in these questions should be resolved before any work begins.
Interested developers
Here is a list of people who have expressed an interest in bounties. Note that the amount of work done by individuals varies quite a bit throughout the years. We do not guarantee that this list is up-to-date, nor do we guarantee that the people listed here have any ability. The only criteria is "XYZ asked to be listed on this page".
Looking at the git history is a good way to determine who the most active and experienced developers are. Statistics up to version 2.19.65:
| overall history | past year | past three months |

Since no developer currently is listed for commercial development, your best bet is asking on the developer list.
Development
Development for LilyPond 2.21.0
Nota bene : These are unstable development versions. If you have the slightest doubt about how to use or install LilyPond, we urge you to use the stable Download, and read the stable Manuals.
Release numbers
There are two sets of releases for LilyPond: stable releases, and unstable development releases. Stable versions have an even-numbered ‘minor’ version number (e.g., 2.8, 2.10, 2.12). Development versions have an odd-numbered ‘minor’ version number (e.g., 2.7, 2.9, 2.11).
Download
Instructions for git and compiling are in the Contributor’s Guide.
Documentation writers and testers will generally want to download the latest binary:
GNU/Linux x86: LilyPond 2.19.65-1
GNU/Linux 64: LilyPond 2.19.65-1
GNU/Linux PPC: LilyPond 2.19.65-1

Google Summer of Code
What is Google Summer of Code?
GSoC is a global program that offers students stipends to write code for free software and open source projects during the summer. For three months students work to complete a given task as part of the project’s community and under the guidance of experienced mentors. The program is an excellent opportunity for students to gain experience with real-world software development and make a contribution that benefits everyone. It brings new contributors to LilyPond and enables students who are already involved to become more involved. LilyPond participates in GSoC as part of the GNU project.
We have had GSoC participants in 2012, 2015, 2016 and 2017. This site will be updated in time before the 2018 season will start.
Project Ideas List
Below is a list of GSoC project ideas (last update: May 2017), but if you have other ideas for a project you may complete within the three months of the program you’re welcome to make a suggestion on our developer mailing list (see Contact). There are a number of areas where LilyPond could be improved, and our development team is always willing to help those who would like to tackle a project similar to those listed below. As mentor availability varies from project to project and from year to year it is wise to get in touch with us as early as possible.
A full list of all the current open issues can be found here.
Adopt the SMuFL music font encoding standard
For several years now a new standard for music fonts has been around: SMuFL, which is also discussed as becoming part of a future W3C standard for music encoding. As a FLOSS tool LilyPond should adhere to such an open standard instead of using an isolated solution like it does today. Adopting SMuFL will help integrating LilyPond with the world of music notation software and eventually give LilyPond users access to a wider selection of notation fonts.
Making LilyPond compliant to SMuFL includes remapping of the glyphs that are built from METAFONT sources, adjusting the glyphs’ metrics to SMuFL’s specifications, and finally updating the way LilyPond looks up and positions the glyphs. As an optional part of this project LilyPond’s font loading mechanism could be modified to use notation fonts installed as system fonts instead of inside the LilyPond installation.
Difficulty: Easy/medium
Requirements: C++ and willingness to get familiar with LilyPond internals.
Recommended: Interest and experience in working with font files. A little bit of METAFONT.
Mentors: Werner Lemberg, Abraham Lee
Adding variants of font glyphs
- Adding ‘on’ and ‘between’ staff-line variants.
- Shorter and narrower variants of some glyphs for example, accidentals. Another, more specific example could be an ancient notation breve notehead coming in two variants one with a small or big ‘hole’ within it.
Difficulty: easy
Requirements: MetaFont, C++, good eye for details
Recommended knowledge: basic LilyPond knowledge
Mentor: Werner Lemberg
Contemporary Notation
LilyPond is very good at creating non-standard notation. Having to code every graphical element instead of simply drawing it may seem cumbersome but is in fact a strong asset. New notational functionality can be provided with consistent appearance, automatic layout and a natural syntactic interface.
Within the openLilyLib library system the student will create a fundamental infrastructure and building blocks to make creating contemporary notation easier. Additionally (at least) one concrete package is developed to cover specific contemporary notation, such as for example the style of a given composer, extended playing techniques for a specific instrument or a certain category of effects.
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: Scheme (interaction with LilyPond internals), contemporary notation techniques
Recommended: sense of building hierarchical frameworks
Mentors: NN, Urs Liska
Rewrite LibreOffice LilyPond Extension with Python
The OOoLilyPond extension made it possible to conveniently include LilyPond score snippets in OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice Writer, Draw and Impress documents while keeping source and image together. After many years without development an initial effort has started to make the extension compatible again with current versions of LibreOffice and LilyPond.
However, as the LibreOffice ecosystem has changed substantially it is now possible to rewrite the extension with Python and PyQt. This will not only be more powerful in general but will allow the integration of functionality from Frescobaldi, such as for example syntax highlighting, entry helpers, score wizards or musical transformations.
Difficulty: easy/medium
Requirements: Python, PyQt, LilyPond basics, LibreOffice extension basics
Recommended knowledge: Familiarity with Frescobaldi code based or willingness to learn during bonding period
Mentor(s): Joram Berger, Urs Liska, (Thorsten Behrens/LibreOffice)
Automated testing and documentation for openLilyLib
openLilyLib is an extension framework for LilyPond code providing a “snippets” repository and a suite of integrated packages such as for example page layout tools or scholarly annotations. It is very powerful and promising, but to really get off the ground two features are missing: automated testing and documentation generation.
Automated testing is necessary to ensure modifications to functionality don’t break other functions within the library. There is already some Automated Testing of the “snippets” repository with Github’s Travis server, but this has to be reconsidered and extended to cover the standalone packages too.
In order to be usable for a wider range of LilyPond users on a “consumer level” openLilyLib needs proper documentation. This documentation has to be generated from the sources, so a system is needed that requires package authors to document the input files and provide additional usage examples, from which documentation is generated. Ideally but not necessarily this is implemented as a Git hook, i.e. automatically upon each update to the repository. We don’t prescribe the tools and approaches to be used, but the most widely used language in the LilyPond domain is Python, so there would be some bias towards that. Alternatively a Scheme solution could be fine so generating the documentation would actually be triggered by “compiling” a certain LilyPond input file. In general it is advisable to make use of proven concepts and tools from other languages.
The eventual output of the documentation should be a static HTML site that can be viewed locally and/or uploaded to a website. But it would be beneficial if the tool would first generate an intermediate representation (e.g. a JSON file with additional media files) from which a Single Page Application could retrieve content for display on openLilyLib’s website. Development of such a SPA can be part of the GSoC project, but is optional.
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: Python or Scheme, static website generator(s) or (Node.js based) dynamic web application technology. Continuous Integration (can be learned during the bonding period)

Improving MusicXML import and export functions:
File interchange between LilyPond and other applications using MusicXML
is still a difficult matter. To import MusicXML it has to be converted
manually by the musicxml2ly script. Export to MusicXML is
only available as a rudimentary feature inside Frescobaldi. In order to
provide natural interchange between LilyPond and MusicXML based
applications there’s the need of actual import functionality and a
dedicated export backend.
Importing XML shall provide file, line and column to add origin attributes to generated objects. That way point and click can be made available in Frescobaldi or other supported IDEs.
Exporting XML shall be realized with an exporter class like the MIDI export. This may be based on the work already done in GSoC 2015 by David Garfinkle. It should be checked if it is possible to use another XML library than the one provided by guile-2 in order to have this feature available in current LilyPond (which is based on guile-1.8).
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: MusicXML, Python, Scheme, basic LilyPond knowledge
Recommended: Familiarity with other scorewriters (for cross-testing)
Mentor: Jan-Peter Voigt
Information for Applicants/Participants
In order to have a satisfying experience with GSoC applicants are strongly advised to thoroughly read the following recommendations. Some of these are relevant for the application process, others for the time within the project.
- Read all applicable information on the program’s website, particularly the students’ manual. Make sure you fulfil all of Google’s prerequisites and are willing to join the program as a full-time commitment over the coding period of three months.
- Please get in touch with us as soon as possible if you are interested in applying with a project. Mentor availability may change without notice, project proposals may need fine-tuning, and many other reasons might require us to reject or ignore an application that hasn’t been discussed before.
- We do not know in advance how many “slots” we will have available for projects, so please be aware that you may find yourself in competition with other applicants or not. Interested or even enthusiastic response from our mentors is no guarantee of eventually being accepted, and not being accepted does not necessarily indicate a negative evaluation of your application. If we have to decide between different applicants there may be various aspects to consider.
- Integration in the LilyPond community is a fundamental part of GSoC, and we expect our students to make substantial efforts to become community members. Within the bonding period we expect you to write a blog post about your project (either on Scores of Beauty or on any other blog) and to be active on our mailing lists, introducing yourself but also communicating about unrelated tasks. This goes beyond the mere setting up of a working environment and familiarizing yourself with the relevant code, but we think it is crucial for the GSoC project to be mutually satisfying.
- If you are accepted to the program you will have one mentor explicitly assigned to your project. With this mentor you will have to agree upon a communication strategy, be it emails, chatrooms, issue trackers or voice/video chats. Regular communication is absolutely crucial for the success of a GSoC project so you are stricly required to keep talking to your mentor. But keep in mind that your mentor has explicitly taken over the responsibility for your project, and while unlike you he isn’t paid for this activity you are still entitled to get regular attention from him.
- In order to get support from your mentor you have to give him a chance to follow your progress and efforts. Therefore it is important to regularly commit your changes to the versioning repository you are working on. Don’t hesitate making unfinished code available because you are afraid of criticism, and don’t suppress questions because you think they might be considered stupid. But ideally your code should at any time be accompanied by compatible testing code. Your mentor may not be able to properly assess your code by only reading it without the opportunity to apply it in a real example.
There is a list of inactive projects in the Attic. We list projects there that are still considered valuable but for which there are currently no mentors available.

News
LilyPond 2.19.65 released August 06, 2017
We are happy to announce the release of LilyPond 2.19.65. This release includes a number of enhancements, and contains some work in progress. You will have access to the very latest features, but some may be incomplete, and you may encounter bugs and crashes. If you require a stable version of LilyPond, we recommend using the 2.18 version.
LilyPond 2.18.2 released! March 23, 2014
We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.18.2. LilyPond is a music engraving program devoted to producing the highest-quality sheet music possible. It brings the aesthetics of traditionally engraved music to computer printouts.
This version provides a number of updates to 2.18.0, including updated manuals. We recommend all users to upgrade to this version.
Two LilyPond projects in Google Summer of Code 2016 April 23, 2016
We are happy to see two students, Nathan Chou and Jeffery Shivers, working on LilyPond as participants in the Google Summer of Code this year. We hope they produce great results and stay in the developer community afterwards.
Nathan will tackle an annoying limitation, namely the unability of spanners to cross voices. His work will make a class of ugly workarounds obsolete. Jeffery will bring the ScholarLY package[1] to production quality and add a LaTeX package to it, making it possible to create beautiful critical reports from data encoded directly in the LilyPond score.
LilyPond 2.18.0 released! December 29, 2013
We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.18.0. LilyPond is a music engraving program devoted to producing the highest-quality sheet music possible. It brings the aesthetics of traditionally engraved music to computer printouts.
Among the numerous improvements and changes, the following might be most visible:
- Many items are now positioned using their actual outline rather than a rectangular bounding box. This greatly reduces the occurrence of unsightly large gaps.
-
Sets and overrides can now use the syntax
\override Voice.TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rit."
instead of the previous
\override Voice.TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit."
-
Triplets with a given group length can now be written as
\tuplet 3/2 4 { c8 c c c c c }instead of
\times 2/3 { c8 c c } \times 2/3 { c8 c c }
A full list of noteworthy new features is given in:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/changes/index.html
Great thanks go to the large number of LilyPond enthusiasts whose financial backing enabled one core developer, David Kastrup, to focus exclusively on LilyPond during the entire development cycle.

Inactive Google Summer of Code project suggestions
The following list describes GSoC projects that had been proposed in recent years and which are still considered valuable but for which we currently don’t have mentors available.
Improve slurs and ties
The engraving quality of slurs and ties is often unsatisfactory. Ties ‘broken’ by clef or staff changes are not handled well. The project could include collecting and sorting examples of bad output, deciding on the intended output and writing code to improve them.
Difficulty: hard
Requirements: C++, experience with writing heuristics
Recommended knowledge: LilyPond knowledge, aesthetic sense
Grace notes
Fix problems with synchronization of grace notes. Grace notes can interfere with LilyPond’s timing and cause odd effects, especially when multiple staffs are used where some have grace notes and others don’t. This is one of the longest-standing and one of the more embarrassing bugs in LilyPond.
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: C++, MIDI
Recommended: familiarity with LilyPond internals
Improve default beam positioning
For regular, cross-staff, broken and kneed beams. Beaming should depend on context and neighbor notes (see section 2.2 of this book). If possible also reduce beaming-computation time.
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: C++, experience with writing heuristics
Recommended knowledge: aesthetic sense
Help improve compilation behavior
Automatic code analysis tools, like valgrind memory leak detection or callgrind code profilers, provide valuable information about possible flaws in our C++ code. Cleaning up warnings would allow us to automate the rejection of any patch which introduced extra warnings.
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: C++

January 02, 2005
LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview" release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8 input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably. Oude downloads and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.
December 28, 2004

LilyPond 2.5.4 is out. This release has some major brainsurgery in the font handling. As of now, LilyPond loads the music fonts in OpenType font format using FreeType.

December 3, 2004
LilyPond 2.5.3 was released. A new script, ‘\espressivo’ has been added, for a combination of crescendo and decrescendo on a single note. In markups, expressions stacked with ‘\column’, ‘\center-align’, etc, are not grouped with ‘< ... >’ anymore, but with ‘{ ... }’. LilyPond will now avoid line breaks that cause long texts to stick outside of the page staff. Grace notes following a main note, used to be entered by letting the grace notes follow a skip in a parallel expression. Oude downloads and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.
November 26, 2004
LilyPond 2.5.2 was released. It has several goodies, including solfa-notation (shaped noteheads), and an easier mechanism for customizing title, footer and header layout.

November 20, 2004
LilyPond 2.5.1 is out. This is an experimental release, containing some proof-of-concept code for our graphical layout editor. You can add and remove things from the file, and the tweaks will still work, as long as the tweaked notes remain in the place (ie. start at the same time-wise and be part of the same context). Further attractions are: the gnome backend now also draws beams and slurs, updates to the SVG backend, support for the lmodern font set for TeX, various bugfixes. Oude downloads and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.
November 12, 2004
The LilyPond development is OPEN once again! The first release of the 2.5 series has the following new Features: Positioning of slurs can now be adjusted manually, Grace notes are correctly quoted and formatted when using cue notes, Cue notes can now be created with

Stemlets (short stems over beamed rests) have been added. In addition, Jan hacked together some highly experimental code where you can use the mouse to drag and drop objects in the -f gnome backend. These tweaks can be saved and are applied to the PS and TeX output as well. Oude downloads and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.

Oude downloads and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.
September 11, 2004
LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying bugs, and has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See input/regression/new-slur for some examples. Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example can be filed at bug-lilypond@gnu.org In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing will hold users back in switching. Oude downloads and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.
September 10, 2004
LilyPond 2.3.15 was released. It fixes for some gaffes with the new vertical spacing engine, has lots of documentation updates, and has support for landscape output in the direct postscript output.

September 6, 2004
LilyPond 2.3.14 was released and has exciting features! LilyPond will try to keep staves at the same distances across a page, but it will stretch distances to prevent collisions; key signature cancellations are now printed before the bar line; different voices that all use "\quote" can now refer to each other. Oude downloads and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.
August 29, 2004
LilyPond now has a Documentation Editor, Graham Percival. From now on, he will oversee that useful information flows from the mailiing list into the manual. Also, if there are unclear sections in the manual, let him know via one of the mailing lists. As a start of his career, he worked to transform the "Templates" section of the website into a readable and comprehensive chapter of the user manual. A lot of cheers for Graham!
August 29, 2004
LilyPond 2.3.13 was released. The new slur code was improved, scripts can be made to avoid slurs, by setting inside-slur to #f. It is no longer necessary to instantiate "up" and "down" staves separately when using \autochange. Jurgen Reuter refreshed the logic around mensural flags, so they are adjusted for staff lines once again. Oude downloads and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.
August 24, 2004

Many examples have been moved to the regression test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That means that we’re halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:
- Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan
- There is a new markup command ‘\postscript’ that takes a string that is dumped as verbatim PostScript
Oude downloads and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.
July 30, 2004
LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file. This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is updating the manual, and after that’s done we can release 3.0. The projected date for this to happen is in about a month. Oude downloads and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.
July 23, 2004
LilyPond 2.3.8 fixes a few minor bugs in the new slur code, and has rewritten support for ledger lines. Now, in tight situations, ledger lines will be shortened so they stay separate.

July 19, 2004
LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features! The slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for all esthetic components of a slur. A large number of combinations for begin and end points is then tried out. Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In the LilyPond emacs mode, the ‘|’ will now display the current beat within the measure. Oude downloads and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.
