WebLily.net - Now Printing via PDF in Full LilyPond Qualitiy

2009-05-22T23:13:00.004+02:00

Now you can print your scores in full LilyPond quality. Use the "Print (PDF)" Button at any time to create a PDF of your score. The PDF will be displayed in the browser by the PDF-Viewer you have installed. Hit the print button of your PDF-Viewer to get an impeccable print out of your score.

Another problem seems to be fixed now: You can now write chords using the notation with "<" and "<" of LilyPond.

Currently, WebLily.net works fine for small (i.e. really very small) examples. However, these known limitations remain:

Any LiliPond input larger than really small will send the website to computational nirvana

Some graphical objects are still missing without any notice, e.g. beams

Depending on your browser non-ASCII characters in texts may show up as "?"

I am working on this and I'd appreciate your feedback. Please, let me know what you think about it. Write a comment to this blog or send me a personal message.

Only recently (why so late?) did I come to know LilyPond, the fantastic music engraving software. Being impressed by its simplicity and its beautyful results and at times overwhelmed by the wealth of its functions and options I came up with the idea of making it available on the web.

This is an experimental project. I am exploring the realm of web programming using Google's Web Toolkit. The output is true HTML so hopefully it will run on any browser. Since I am not an experienced programmer doing this just as a hobby you might know what you'll have to expect.

May be people who are new to LilyPond and just want to play around with it will find this to be a useful tool, since they do not have to download and to install the software on their machines.
