mingus.extra.lilypond¶
Functions to generate files in the LilyPond format.
This allows you to create sheet music from some of the objects in mingus.containers.
-
mingus.extra.lilypond.from_Bar(bar, showkey=True, showtime=True)[source]¶ Get a Bar object and return the LilyPond equivalent in a string.
The showkey and showtime parameters can be set to determine whether the key and the time should be shown.
-
mingus.extra.lilypond.from_Composition(composition)[source]¶ Return the LilyPond equivalent of a Composition in a string.
-
mingus.extra.lilypond.from_Note(note, process_octaves=True, standalone=True)[source]¶ Get a Note object and return the LilyPond equivalent in a string.
If process_octaves is set to False, all data regarding octaves will be ignored. If standalone is True, the result can be used by functions like to_png and will produce a valid output. The argument is mostly here to let from_NoteContainer make use of this function.
-
mingus.extra.lilypond.from_NoteContainer(nc, duration=None, standalone=True)[source]¶ Get a NoteContainer object and return the LilyPond equivalent in a string.
The second argument determining the duration of the NoteContainer is optional. When the standalone argument is True the result of this function can be used directly by functions like to_png. It is mostly here to be used by from_Bar.
-
mingus.extra.lilypond.from_Track(track)[source]¶ Process a Track object and return the LilyPond equivalent in a string.
-
mingus.extra.lilypond.save_string_and_execute_LilyPond(ly_string, filename, command)[source]¶ A helper function for to_png and to_pdf. Should not be used directly.
