Scores

Library of LilyPond music score files, with a development environment for editing scores and generating output files.

Installation

Nix

The recommended way to install the build and development dependencies is with Nix. On non-NixOS systems, use the Determinate Systems Nix Installer.

Once Nix is installed, use nix develop to download the dependencies and activate the development shell, or, preferably, install direnv (for example, using these dotfiles) to automatically activate the environment when cd-ing into the project directory. Assuming you installed direnv, as well as just, and nushell (which will be installed when running nix develop), a automatic development environment can be created by running:

just init
