In this talk, I begin with an overview of the LilyPond syntax and move on to showcase ways for producing algorithmic compositions and music books using Make, Org and LilyPond-mode. -<!-- from the pad ---> +Source files and other materials can be found at +<https://gitlab.com/jagrg/emacsconf-2020> and +<https://gitlab.com/drumbook>. + +<!-- from the pad ---> # Questions ## Do you have any thoughts on generating scores in chant notation (neumes)? -I'm not familiar with chant notation, but I know there's information on the manual. + +I'm not familiar with typesetting chant notation, so I suggest reading +this specific section of the manual for information. ## Do you use this to compose or to write up compositions…? -No and yes. I use pencil and paper to compose the first draft. Then I move to Emacs to input the notes. Either way it's certainly possible to compose from Emacs directly, especially if you're doing this programatically, so I guess it depends on what you're trying to do. -## Can one use MIDI/USB instruments (like keyboards) to input Lilypond?
