LilyPond – みんなの楽譜作成
LilyPond
LilyPond は、可能な限り高品位な楽譜を生み出すことを目的とする、オープン ソースの楽譜作成プログラムです。このフリー ソフトウェアは、伝統的な彫版の楽譜の美しさをコンピュータ プリントアウトで実現します。LilyPond はフリーソフトウェアであり、GNU プロジェクト
の一部です。
導入部 を読んで、LilyPond をもっと知ってください！
美しい楽譜
LilyPond は、いかなる種類の譜刻にも対応できる、強力で、自由度の高いツールです。例えば、クラシック音楽（J. S. Bach 作の上の例のように）、複雑な楽譜、古楽、現代音楽、タブ譜、声楽、リード譜、教材、大きなオーケストラプロジェクト、カスタマイズされた出力、さらに Schenker graphs にも使えます。
楽譜の 例 を見て、刺激を受けてください！
導入部
我々のゴール
LilyPond のきっかけは2人の音楽仲間がコンピュータで印刷したつまらない見栄えの楽譜を超えようと決意したことに始まります。すべての音楽家は美しい楽譜を好みます。それなら、我々プログラマーは美しい楽譜を作り出すソフトウェアを作ることはできないでしょうか？
答えは、伝統的な手法に従った美しい楽譜を作り出すプログラムです。レイアウトの細かな問題をプログラムで処理することにより、作曲者、編曲者、出版社がソフトウェアの出力を調整して見栄えを良くすることよりも、音楽 に集中できるようにします。演奏者は音楽を 読む ことよりも、
演奏 に集中できるようになります。

特徴
すぐれた伝統的な譜刻
LilyPond は、音楽家が美しく、読みやすい楽譜を作り出すことを可能にします。LilyPond の開発者コミュニティは、美しく譜刻された楽譜を生み出す強力な譜刻ソフトウェアを開発するために何千時間も費やしてきました。LilyPond の書式設定、フォント デザイン、それにアルゴリズムはすべて、手で譜刻された最高品質の楽譜を参考にしています。LilyPond の出力は、最高の職人によって作られた伝統的な楽譜と同じくらい、力強く、バランスがとれていて、美しい見栄えがします。これらのことについて、エッセー でさらに説明しています。
テキスト入力
すべてが明快
LilyPond は楽譜 コンテンツ に関するすべての情報を含み、誰にでも、また他のプログラムでも簡単に読むことのできる、テキスト入力を処理します。メニューやバイナリファイルに隠された不明瞭な設定はありません。
テキスト入力 のコンセプトをもっと読む。
堅牢で追跡可能な微調整
レイアウトを微調整した場合、人間が読める形で明快に見えるため、いつでも何をしたのか、たどることができます。誤って何かを壊してしまった場合でも、元に戻す 機能のなすがままに頼ることなく、簡単に元に戻したり修正したりすることができます。
テキストファイルは障害に強く、将来性があります
テキストファイルは破損に対して非常に堅牢です。人間が読むこともでき、ファイルを作成したプログラムが使えなくても、いつでも解釈できます。
楽譜をバージョン管理
テキストファイルはバージョン管理システムで管理できます。楽譜の変更履歴がすべて記録でき、無限に選べる「元に戻す」「やり直す」機能 を使うことができます。新しいコラボレーションの方法にもなるでしょう。
使いやすさ
効果的なレイアウト機能
出力の調整に時間を無駄にするのは止めましょう。LilyPond は最初から正しいフォーマットで出力します。緻密で統一のとれたレイアウトになるよう、スペースを自動的に決定し、改行、改ページを行います。歌詞、音符、和音の衝突回避、それにスラーや連桁の傾きは自動的に行われます！
楽譜と文章の混合
画像のカット＆ペーストをせずに、
楽譜の断片をテキストに入れることができます。LaTeX や HTML に楽譜を垣根無く統合できますし、OOoLilyPond を使えば OpenOffice.org や LibreOffice にOOoLilyPondで楽譜を追加することも出来ます。LilyPond のコードを様々なブログ、Wiki で使用可能にするプラグインがあり、オンラインでコラボレーションできます。
アクセス性
テキスト ベースの入力は、重い身体障がいを持つユーザであっても、楽譜を記述することを可能にします。キーボードやマウスを扱うことができない、上肢障がいのあるユーザは、音声認識ソフトウェアを使って、LilyPond ファイルを編集することができます。盲目のユーザでさえも、読み上げソフトウェアを使って、LilyPond ファイルを記述することができます
– これは、グラフィカル ベースの楽譜作成プログラムでは不可能なことです。壮観な楽譜の 例 を見てください。
多様な編集方法
自身が活発な LilyPond ユーザである開発者の何人かは、LilyPond ファイルの編集プロセスをより早く、より効率的に行うためのツールを作っています。一つのユーザインタフェースに縛られていないので、異なるタスクのために様々なツールを使うことができます。自宅では本格的な LilyPond エディタを使い、外出先では携帯電話のメモ帳アプリを使ってファイルを編集することができます。より簡単な編集手段 で例を挙げます。
拡張性の高い設計
スタイルシートによる簡単な管理
すべての設定は、個人的な写植上の好みに合わせて変更可能です。だから、簡単に LilyPond のデフォルトのあらゆる側面を変更するスタイルシートを作ることができます。スタイルシートもテキストであり、複数別々に保存できるので、単にスタイルシートを切り替えるだけで、完全に異なる外観やレイアウトの楽譜を生成することができます。A4用紙に総譜を印刷し、プロジェクターでは1スライドに1段投影したい？LilyPond のレイアウトエンジンは難なく同じ入力から両方を生成できます。
あなた自身の機能を追加
仮にそれが不十分な場合でも、LilyPond 自身と同じレベルで LilyPond のレイアウトエンジンにアクセスできる内蔵スクリプト言語 Scheme を常に使うことができ、とても 強力なツールにできます。全ての設定、変数、それに関数は、広範囲に亘るプログラム リファレンス マニュアルの中にドキュメント化されています。
プログラムで楽譜を処理
LilyPond の入力ファイルは、プログラムやスクリプトで完全に編集でき、生成することもできます。これは例えばアルゴリズムで作曲することもできます。分析のために音楽コンテンツにアクセスしたり、データベースで入力の断片を管理することもできます。想像できる限り制限はありません。
LilyPond を使った新しいツールを作る
LilyPond は一つの GUI プログラムではなく、コマンドラインツールなので、他のアプリケーションの中から使うこともできます。この方法で、Web アプリケーションに LilyPond の譜刻機能を持たせることができます。LilyPond を使ったオンラインツールがいくつかあります。
環境
素晴らしいサポート
LilyPond は一般的なプラットフォーム全て
(GNU/Linux, MacOS, そして Windows) で動きます。LilyPond には広範囲のドキュメントと数百の実例ファイルが付属します。LilyPond ユーザー メーリング リストで質問に答えてくれる活発なユーザ コミュニティがあります。開発チームは問題が早期に解決されるよう活動しています。通常はすぐに回答がありますし、しばしば報告された問題に対する鮮やかな解決策が開発されます。開発チームの密接な対応のおかげで、そのような解決策はきちんと LilyPond へ取り込まれます。コミュニティ についてもっと読む。
フリー ソフトウェア
LilyPond は無料でダウンロードすることができます！そうです – 無料です。ダウンロード ページから入手してください。
LilyPond は (口語的な意味でも) フリーなソフトウェアです。ソース コードが公開されており、変更もコピーも認められています。ですから、バグにいらいらしていたり、仕様面で不満があるのなら、自分でそれを追加したり、他の人にそれを注文することが出来ます。

自由
何故 LilyPond の開発者たちはこのプログラムを無料にしておくのか？
たいていの人たちは、LilyPond の開発を趣味やボランティア活動と見なしています。ですから、この質問の本質はこうです
– “なぜボランティア活動を行うのか？”。
-
楽しい: ゴールに向かって取り組むことは楽しいことです。特に、チームで取り組んでいる場合は！
-
ゴールの共有: 我々は皆、美しい楽譜を望んでいます。しかしながら、すべての状況を処理できるプログラムを作成できるような熟練者はほとんどいません (そして、皆、時間がありません！)。皆で取り組むことで
– ある人は自動連桁のコードを改良し、ある人はスラーの形を改良し、またある人は、それらの機能の使い方を説明するドキュメントを記述します
– 個人々々ができる努力からゴールを達成することができます。
-
“与える文化”: フリー ソフトウェア運動は多くの偉大なソフトウェア
プロジェクトを生み出してきました
– GNU/Linux,
Mozilla Firefox, それに
Battle for Wesnoth など。
これらのプロジェクトの恩恵を受けて、そのコミュニティに “恩返し” をしたいと考えている開発者もいます。
-
経験: フリー ソフトウェア プロジェクトに貢献することは、プログラミング、ドキュメントの記述・翻訳、デザインを訓練するための素晴らしい方法です。この経験により、仕事の依頼を受けたり、奨学金を得た開発者もいます。

2004年2月
ジャズ歌手 Gail Selkirk は
LilyPond にハマった ことについて書きました。
“… リード譜やフルオーケストラ譜を作ることができ、そして出力は素敵です。”
Computer Music Special, CMS06 の発刊において。
ユーザからの推薦状
“...私は、何曲かのチェロ独奏用のアンコール ピースを書き、LilyPond で印刷しました。Shirmer に出版を掛け合おうとしていますが、そこで印刷される物は恐らく私の物の半分も良くないでしょう！”
“まだ [LilyPond] について詳しく知りませんが、とても感銘を受けています。定量記譜法で Josquin Desprez のモテットを入力するのに LilyPond を使いましたが、LilyPond が、スピード、使い易さ、見栄えにおいて、
他の全ての楽譜作成プログラムを圧倒していることは間違いありません！”
Darius Blasband, 作曲家 (ベルギー ブリュッセル)
“[..最初のオーケストラリハーサルの後で] 私は楽譜の出来についてたくさんの賛辞をいただきました。重要なのは、LilyPondには楽譜の見栄えをより良くするための数多くの方法があるのですが、私がオーケストラに渡したのは基本的に生の、そのままの出力結果だったということです。”
Kieren MacMillan, 作曲家 (カナダ トロント)
“この素晴らしい仕事をした開発チームに感謝と賛辞の意を。LilyPondで得られる結果に近い物は他ではありません
– この偉大なアプリケーションは、私の楽譜出版の必要性に対して、期待以上の結果を間違いなくもたらしてくれます。[..] 基本的に、いじっていない LilyPond の出力は [..]
私が比較した最近の ‘プロ’ の出版物
(Warner Bros. の楽譜、それから ‘老舗’ の最近の楽譜の大多数)
よりも良いです。[..]”
“Finale/Sibelius/Igor/他の楽譜ソフトウェアに負けるな！！！”
Chris Cannam, RoseGarden プロジェクトの主任プログラマ。
“LilyPond は明らかに [楽譜清書における] 超重量級ゴリラです。”
“楽譜作成を LilyPond に任せることで、私はより音楽に集中することができます。どうやって Lily に譜刻させるかで途方に暮れたこともありました。しかしながら、たとえ私が作曲家の思った通りに譜刻したとしても、その楽譜は読み難いものになるだろうということに気付きました。LilyPond を使うことで、私はより容易に編集者と譜刻者の 2 つの役割を果たすことができます。”
“私の拙い楽譜出版ビジネスは、完全に LilyPond に頼っています。作曲家に出版しようとしている楽譜の校正刷りを見せると、例外なく彼らはその質の高さに圧倒されます。賭けてもいいです。私は出力の調整 – 特に (和音の) タイの調整 – に多くの時間を費やしますが、LilyPond は私に素晴らしいスタート地点、直感的なインターフェイス、それに時間をかけさえすればすべてを思い通りに変更できる能力を与えてくれます。商用製品でこれだけのことをできるものは無いと確信しています。”
David Bobroff, アイスランド交響楽団バス トロンボーン奏者
“LilyPond は素晴らしい。[..] LilyPond について知れば知るほど好きになる！”
Vaylor Trucks, エレキギター プレーヤ (そう、コレ 関係)
“私は LilyPond に超、感動しています。[..]”
“今まででサイコーのプログラム！！！”
“作ってくれた人みんなの仕事と献身に感謝します！”
“憎悪にも似た情愛を感じました。情愛の理由は、最初に見た楽譜があまりにも素晴らしかったからです！LilyPond の美しさの説明は不十分です – あまりにも控えめ過ぎる！LilyPond は常に良くなっていますし、scheme がどう使われているかを良く知るにつれ、フラストレーションは減ってきました。とにかく、言いたいことは ‘LilyPond を作ってくれて有難う、本当に素晴らしい。’ということです。”
Werner Lemberg, ドイツ Koblenz 劇場指揮者、優れた GNU ハッカー
“とにかく、LilyPond は驚くほど良い仕事をする！”
“[LilyPond] はすごいプログラムだと思う。実に素敵な結果が得られる。去年、これについてのインタビュー記事を読んだ後、そのポテンシャルについて友達に夢中で喋っていたよ。”
“私は、個人的経験からこの種のソフトウェアが、いかに難しいか知っているので、LilyPond とその開発者たちを深く尊敬しています。”
David Cameron, 音楽家、プロ組版者、そして長期間の SCORE ユーザ
“このプロジェクトに貢献するすべての人に心から感謝します。私は90年代に大きな組版会社で SCORE を使っていましたが、LilyPond は、特に「標準」的でない場合に、最終的に望み通りの結果を得ることができました。”
テキスト入力
楽譜を “コンパイル” する
(クリックすると拡大します)
LilyPond は コンパイル システムです:
音符を保持しているテキスト ファイルに対して実行します。結果として得られる出力は、スクリーン上で閲覧するか、プリントします。いくつかの点で、LilyPond はグラフィカルな楽譜編集ソフトウェアよりもプログラミング言語に似ています。
ツールバーから音符をドラッグして、楽譜に配置するのではありません。テキストを打ち込むことで楽譜を記述します。このテキストは LilyPond によって解析 (あるいは “コンパイル”) され、美しく譜刻された楽譜が生成されます。
グラフィカル ユーザ インターフェイスに慣れている人は、新しい方法を学ぶ必要があるかもしれません。
しかしながら、そうする価値は間違いなくあります！
Note: テキスト入力についての簡単な概要を用意しています
– これは、見た目ほど難しいものではありません！提示した例の詳細を理解できなくても心配ありません。
初心者向けドキュメントがゆっくりとしたペースで説明しています。
A B C と同じくらい簡単
音符は英字と数字で表現されます。特殊なコマンドはバックスラッシュと一緒に入力します。
臨時記号は違う名前で入力します。シャープには -is を、フラットには -es を付けます (これらは、オランダ語の音符名で、他の言語用もあります)。LilyPondがどこに臨時記号を付けるかを判断します。
ポップ ミュージック
リード譜を作るために、コードと歌詞を一緒に配置します:
オーケストラ パート
入力ファイルには楽曲の音符が入っています。スコアとパート譜を、一つの入力ファイルから作り出すことができます。そのため、音符を変更すると常にパートとスコア両方に影響します。音符を共有するには、その音楽を変数に割り当てます:
この変数は、単一のパートに使うことができます
(ここでは、移調され、複小節休符はまとめられています):
同じ変数をフル スコアで使うことができます
(ここでは、コンサート ピッチです):
初心者のためのドキュメント
多くのユーザがこのような方法で楽譜を入力することに違和感を覚えます。そのため、新しいユーザを援助するために、学習 から始まる広範囲なドキュメントを用意してあります。学習マニュアルは LilyPond を始めるのにぴったりです。ユーザが感じるであろう疑問に対する答えをたくさん含んでいます。
時には新しいユーザが LilyPond の挙動の様子に混乱させられることがあります。LilyPond が正しく動作しているか疑う前に、学習マニュアルを読んでください。

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 https://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
https://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 https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html.

GNU Free Documentation License 1.3
Version 1.3, 3 November 2008
| | Copyright © 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
https://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
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/.
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.

最小化例
“最小化例” とは？
最小化例は、削除可能なものをすべて 削除した例です。
なぜそれを作る必要があるの?
-
例が簡単なほど、援助者は素早くそれを理解して手助けすることができます。
-
最小化例は、あなたが自分自身で問題を解決する努力した証明になります。入力ファイルの大部分を送った場合、援助を期待していないかのように見られてしまいます。
-
最小化例を作ることは、あなたは何が起きているかを理解する手助けにになります。多くの問題報告は最小化例を作る努力をすることで回避できるものです。最小化例の中で “バグ” を再現できないのであれば、それはバグではなく、LilyPond への理解不足である可能性が高いです！
どうやって作るの？
-
\version 番号を含めてください。
-
小さくしてください！スペースやページ レイアウトについての例は多くの小節を必要とするかもしれませんが、多くの問題は 1 小節以下に作り直すことができます。
-
例を作ろうとする時、ファイルの部分々々をコメント アウト
(
% や %{ … %}) してみてください。あなたの考えていることを残しながらコメント アウトできるものがあれば、それを削除してください！
-
バグと関係がないのであれば、複雑な音符、調、拍子を使わないで下さい。
-
バグと関係がないのであれば、
\override や \set コマンドを使わないでください。
-
強制ではありませんが、得ようとしている出力を示す画像を添付してください。
最小化例はどのようなもの？
以下のコードは最小化例でしょうか？
\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''> ]
}
}
これで大きすぎるわけではありませんが、本当の最小化例は以下のようになります:
\version "2.14.1"
{
% middle tie looks funny here:
<c' d'' b''>8. ~ <c' d'' b''>8
}
最小化例のコードが 10 行を越えることはほとんどありません
– ほとんどの場合、問題を示すのに 4 行で十分です！
バグ報告
クラッシュや記述どおりの出力を得られない入力があるのなら、それはバグです。
ステップ 2: バグ報告を作成する
リスト アップされていないバグを発見した場合、我々がバグを無くすることができるよう、バグ報告を作ってください。
Note: 我々が受け付ける報告は、最小化例 になっているものだけです。我々がバグ報告を扱うために使える資源は非常に限られています。そのため、最小化されていない例は受け付けられません。ほとんどのバグは 4 つ以下の音符で表すことができます！
良くできたバグ報告の例を挙げます:
% 臨時記号はタイの最初の音符にだけ付くはずですが、
% このバージョンでは両方の音符にフラットが付けられます。
\version "2.10.1"
\relative c'' {
bes1 ~
bes1
}
ステップ 4: 回答を待つ
バグ報告がメーリング リストに送られると、バグ チームがその報告を検証します。彼らはバグについての更なる情報を得るために質問をする場合があります。報告がバグ トラッカーに追加された場合、通知が来ます。この仕事に割り当てられるボランティアの数は限られているため、
4 日間は待ってください。
バグがトラッカーに追加されると、そのバグについての情報を追加するためにコメントすることができます。トラッカー上のバグに何らかのアクティビティがあった時に自動的に通知するには、バグのタイトルの隣にある封筒のマークをクリックして購読します。コメントや購読を行うためには SourceForge アカウントにログインしている必要があります。
オプションのステップ: 望ましい結果を提示してください
問題がトラッカーに登録された場合、望ましい結果を提示してもらえるととても役に立ちます。このような結果になってほしいということを示す入力コードや画像

援助が必要です
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.
(This may entail helping them navigate the online documentation;
in such cases it may sometimes be appropriate to point them
to version-agnostic URL paths such as
/latest/ or
/stable/,
which are automatically redirected.)
-
Bug reporting: help users create proper
バグ報告, 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.
Note: 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.

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, 2017 and 2020. This
site is current for the 2023 program.
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 コンタクト). 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.
Per 2018 we have installed the new role of “Community Mentor”. We aim
at assigning one Community Mentor to each active project who is
not responsible for discussing the implementation or reviewing
the code. Instead they will on the one hand discuss the design
of the planned features from the (power) user perspective, and they
will look after the communication between student and mentor, and
between the two and the community.
A full list of all the current open issues can be found
here.
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
Improve/Extend Export to MusicXML
There is experimental support for exporting scores to MusicXML.
So far there is limited coverage that should be extended, and the export
should become more robust with regard to unconventionally organized input
files. Several strategies can be thought of in that regard.
Significant progress in coverage has been made in a GSoC Project hosted
by Frescobaldi in 2017, but there is
still much to be done that could make a nice GSoC project.
Working in this project will mainly be done in the
python-ly repository.
Difficulty: easy to hard (depending on the targeted improvements)
Size of project: to be defined
Requirements: Python, MusicXML
Mentor: Peter Bjuhr (?)
Fix Beaming Patterns/Beam Subdivisions and Tuplets
Subdivision is an important way to improve the readability of beamed
music. However, despite several attempts at fixing it LilyPond still
does not always produce correct results. In order to properly fix this
issue it seems necessary to rewrite the responsible code from the ground
up. Much work has already been done assessing the issue (see
this discussion and
this work-in-progress document).
In the course of this assessment it has been found that LilyPond’s
conception of tuplets is somewhat flawed as well (see
this discussion), and that this has to be fixed as well.
Difficulty: medium
Size of project: to be defined
Requirements: C++
Recommended knowledge: Good musical and mathematical understanding
of timing issues
Mentors: Carl Sorensen (?)
Support for Style Sheets
LilyPond’s engraving output can be tweaked to the least detail, and one
important addition in recent years was the ability to use alternative
notation fonts. It is possible to create reusable modules for “house
styles”, but this project aims at bringing this to a new level by creating
a convenient extension package with support for creating, applying,
and sharing modular style sheets. We are looking for a hierarchical
structure that allows to mix and match style elements for “house” (e.g.,
“my-personal-style”, “client-a”, “client-b”, etc.), score type, paper
size etc.
Work can be built upon the existing
notation-fonts
openLilyLib package. We would like to see a further improvement of the
loading mechanism for notation fonts (for example a better separation
of loading notation and text fonts) as part of the project, and optionally
(this would involve working on Lilypond’s C++ code) support for notation
fonts that are installed system-wide.
Difficulty: medium
Size of project: to be defined
Requirements: Scheme, aesthetic competence
Recommended: sense of building hierarchical frameworks
Optional: C++ (for font loading internals)
Mentor: Abraham Lee (?)
Community Mentor: Kieren MacMillan
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 物置. We list
projects there that are still considered valuable but for which there
are currently no mentors available.

LilyPond 2.24.4 released! July 21, 2024
We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.24.4. 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 contains a number of fixes since the release of the previous
stable version in November 2023. We recommend all users to update.
Scores converted to or written for 2.24.0 will continue to work with this
release. A list of added features and other user-visible changes for 2.24
can be found at https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/changes/.
Among others, version 2.24.0 switched to Guile 2.2 and features a completely
rewritten infrastructure for creating the official packages, finally allowing
us to offer 64-bit binaries for macOS and Windows.
For distributions, Guile 3.0 is officially supported since the previous
LilyPond 2.24.3, even though the recommended version will remain Guile 2.2
for the LilyPond 2.24 series.
LilyPond 2.25.18 released July 14, 2024
We are happy to announce the release of LilyPond 2.25.18. This is
termed a development release, but these are usually reliable for
testing new features and recent bug fixes. However, if you require
stability, we recommend using version 2.24.3, the current stable
release.

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.
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)
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
Frescobaldi Extensions
Starting with the current release 3.1
Frescobaldi has an extension API that
allows the easy integration of arbitrary functionality in the editing
environment. These could range from, say, document statistics and
accounting functionality to fancy features like a built-in video chat
client or a stock market ticker.
We would welcome project suggestions about arbitrary Frescobaldi
extensions of appropriate complexity that add substantial functionality
for working with LilyPond scores which might not be suitable to be
included into Frescobaldi itself.
As suggestions and examples may serve: a project management
extension that can manage repetoire of arbitrary complexity, handle
the generation of template files and the compilation process. Or an
extension to manage the openLilyLib
infrastructure.
Difficulty: easy/medium
Requirements: Python, (PyQt)
Optional: GUILE Scheme (if functionality involves LilyPond
internals)
Mentor: Urs Liska
Implement a System to Handle Scores System by System
One strategy that may improve the issue of LilyPond’s compilation time is
to handle scores in a system-by-system manner through partial compilation.
This project explores one approach to achieve this and may lay the ground
for future development towards a “LilyPond server”. It is very ambitions
because it involves working with LilyPond’s internals and optionally a
reference user interface in Frescobaldi.
The idea behind this project is the implementation of a music viewer that
doesn’t display pages but sees a scores as a continuous sequence of systems
that are stitched together. LilyPond can produce such a sequence of files,
and it can be made aware of the moments of each line break. That way only
systems have to be recompiled that are affected by a modification, thus
saving significant waiting times. Optionally there could be new engraving
modes in LilyPond that don’t try to optimize the line breaking, saving
even more time, at least while in content editing mode.
The project is fairly complex and has many more aspects than could be
listed on this page. So if you are interested in this please get in
touch with us as early as possible to evaluate options and discuss the
topics before you write an application.
Difficulty: hard
Requirements: LilyPond/Scheme, Python/PyQt
Optional: C++ if it’s necessary to modify LilyPond itself
Mentors: NN (, Urs Liska)
Community Mentor: Kieren MacMillan
MusicXML
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)
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.
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: C++

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:
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/changes/index.html

financial backing enabled one core developer, David Kastrup, to

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.

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.

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 (i.e., 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.

notes are correctly quoted and formatted when using cue
notes, Cue notes can now be created with
\cueDuring #VOICE-NAME #DIRECTION { MUSIC }
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.

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.

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

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

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.
