[lily4jedit-user] A Simple Lilypond Note Writer

[Joshua K. <zz...@us...>]

Hi all,

I was playing around with canvas (html 5- most modern browsers are
compatible except IE) when I thought of quickly creating a frontend to make
note inputs for lilypond easier (in the style of a music notation software,
but not quite really).

Here's the link: http://jabtunes.com/notation/

Right now this is pretty much basic, but shows you a blank staff, click some
notes in it and it generates relative lilypond code. With some keyboard
shortcuts like numbers for durations, + - for accidentals, one might find it
useful to easier to create a score, with the help of an editor(eg. copy and
pasting notes into lilypondtool). There are some other experimental
features, like saving the score on your browser, dynamics, chords (press
c)...

Side notes: these notes(excuse the pun) are rendered with javascript using
Lilypond vector fonts at runtime. This also kind of works on my android
phone, anyone with an iPhone could try it too. I imagine it would be cool if
it can be hooked up to Lilypondy or google wave one day.

Feel free to play with it, hack it, modify it or drop me any comments.

Cheers,
Joshua Koo

Hi Joshua,

Definitely a good idea for a lilypond web service, which I'm actually 
currently working on.
It should be combined with something like 
http://valentin.villenave.info/lilypond/
(Unfortunately the CodePress syntax highlighting doesn't work in Chrome, 
the Editarea doesn't handle multiline comments correctly)

But the score is definitely too large, please make it half as large as 
it is now (or add an option to change).

Hi Bert!

Nice hearing from you!

Quick reply:
1. I thought I was sending this email to the lilypond user group, but guess
it was nice ending in this mailing list too :)
2. Would be nice to know how I can work with you on that, a lilypond
webservice would be much needed :P
3. Yes, size can be configured - need to change the scaling, canvas sizes.
4. If you are targeting modern browsers, may suggest you to look at Mozilla
Thunderhead for the editor (based on cavas). That is their UI framework
behind the very interesting Mozilla Bespin https://bespin.mozilla.com/ (code
in the cloud, collaborative programming)

Cheers,
Joshua
