Music in Plain Text
summary
Uses LilyPond inside Emacs to generate printable PDF scores and MIDI from .ly files (tested with LilyPond 2.20.0), compiles and previews with C-c C-c and exports PDFs with C-c C-l, and automates multi-file builds with GNU Make. Shows randomized note-sequence generation, an Org-mode embedding workflow using ob-lilypond arrange/basic modes, and practical additions: a bar-number toggle and a simple metronome packaged to MELPA metronome. Tools shown: LilyPond, Org Mode, templates and snippets; everything compiles and produces new scores on repeat.
