LilyPond upload

Featured Replies

Why I can't upload my LilyPond music to this site?

You should be able to upload it, as a pdf.

Why pdf & not the source code :-) ?

My works are under CC-BY-SA & GPLv3 licences, so I MUST release the FREE (speech) source code.

:huh::blink: Obviously, whatever you're talking about isn't a supported attachment.

Just save the source code as a text file and upload it then.

(Not that I have a clue what CC-BY-SA & GPLv3 means or anything though.)

gnu public license v3 and creative commons, I assume. :>

LilyPond is a text file.

Yes, of course:

Attribution (BY) means Copytight required

ShareAlike (SA) means distribution os derivative works allowedwith sami license

Ahh. Well, anyways, you can upload .txt files. Just change the .ly into .txt and it should work.

'Upload warning

".txt" is an unwanted file type

List of allowed file types: png, jpg, jpeg'

Webmaster, please explicitly allow .ly files

THX !

See attached.

txt.txt

As far as I know, you do not violate GPL terms if you place the source on a website and make a link in the pdf to it.

Daniel, how can I upload my Ostia.ly file & refer to as Ostia.ly or Ostia.txt ? THX! :-)

You need to have file extensions viewable in whatever version of computer you're using. Then just change the file extension. The file will then have a text icon, even if it's not a text file.

The attached file to this is a .rar file, and I have named it to .txt.

Empty.txt

Does anyone around here actually use Lilypond?

Chopin does, ironically enough.

Lilypond is the most flexible & often the only useful tool, especially for contemporary music.

E.g. LilyPond can handle FollowVoice in polymethric context.

:w00t: WOW, AWESOME!!!

...

:whistling:

Whatever would we do without our FollowVoices in polymethric contexts, I wonder?

:rolleyes:

Look, I write music so new nobody can even open the file!

:rolleyes:

You think, I'm an idiot, because I write my music with LilyPond & I'd like to upload my little files for You. THX - colleagues - T H X

Okay Doc. Don't jump to conclusions. No one called you an idiot. MY POINT is, that even if LilyPond files were a compatible format for upload, NO ONE uses the program to view them with. Seriously, give us a score or some sort of readable notation format for the 98% of us who aren't familiar with LilyPond and it's fantastic ability to handle FollowVoice in polymethric context.

I prefer pdfs to specific notation program file types anyways. They open quickly, are pretty and clean without unnecessary colours and toolbars, and are easy to navigate through.

Exactly what the above two posts say. Google "cutePDF" and you'll be able to make a PDF file out of anything you can print. Which, I imagine, includes LilyPond.
