21 LilyPond 是怎么来的呢?从前,有两位音乐家,对于那种用电脑打谱的、看上去了无生气的乐谱,很是懊恼,希望超越现状。既然音乐家们都喜爱阅读漂亮的乐谱,那为什么程序员不能写出可以制作优雅乐谱的软件呢?
24 诞生了!这个系统把音乐家从繁琐的排版细节中释放出来,让他们能够专注于音乐制作。LilyPond
25 与音乐家携手,秉承古典音乐传统雕版印刷术最优良的传统,共同打造具有最高出版质量的乐谱。

104 @subsubheading 杰出的古典雕版风格
106 @imageFloat{flat-design,png,right}
108 LilyPond allows musicians to produce elegant sheet music that is
109 easy to read. Its developer community has spent thousands of hours
110 developing powerful music engraving software that results in beautifully
111 engraved music. All of LilyPond's style settings, font designs and
112 algorithms have been inspired by the finest hand-engraved music.
113 LilyPond output has the same strong, balanced and elegant look as the
114 best-engraved classical scores. This is further explained in our
119 @subsubheading 有效的版面选择
121 Spend less time with tweaking the output; LilyPond gets the
122 formatting correct right from the start. It determines spacing by
123 itself, and breaks lines and pages to provide a tight and uniform
124 layout. Clashes between lyrics, notes, and chords are resolved
125 and slurs and beams are sloped, automatically!
133 @imageFloat{lilypond-book,png,right}
135 @subsubheading 基于文本的输入
137 LilyPond takes ASCII input, which you can produce in your favorite
138 text editor, quickly and comfortably. The input contains all the
139 information, so there is no need to remember complex command sequences:
140 simply save a file for later reference.
142 @subsubheading 音乐和文本混合
144 Put fragments of music into texts without cutting and pasting
145 pictures. Integrate music into @LaTeX{} or HTML seamlessly, or add
146 music to OpenOffice.org with OOoLilyPond. Plugins are also available
147 to allow LilyPond code in various blogs and wikis, making online
148 collaboration possible.
153 Text-based input also makes score-writing possible for users with
154 severe physical disabilities. Dexterity-impaired users who are
155 unable to type or control a computer mouse can use
156 speech-recognition software to edit LilyPond files. Even users
157 who are totally blind can use screen-reading software to write
158 LilyPond files -- an impossible task in graphical-based
159 score-writing programs.
161 @subsubheading 可扩展的设计
163 All settings can be changed to suit your personal typographical
164 taste. If that still is not enough, there is always the built-in
165 scripting language Scheme, a dialect of the powerful language
166 LISP. Settings, variables and functions are all documented in the
167 comprehensive program reference manual.
175 @imageFloat{frescobaldi-lilypond-editor-small,png,right}
177 @subsubheading 免费的自由软件
179 LilyPond 是可以免费下载的!没错,是完全免费的,可从下载页获取。
181 它也是自由软件。It comes with source
182 code, and permission to change and copy it. So, are you irritated
183 by a bug, or yearning for a feature? Simply add it yourself, or
184 pay someone else to do it.
189 LilyPond runs on all popular platforms: GNU/Linux, Mac OS@tie{}X, and
190 Windows. LilyPond comes with extensive documentation and 数以百计的范例文件。There is an active user community answering
191 questions on the lilypond-user mailing list, while the development
192 team makes sure that problems are solved quickly.
195 @subsubheading 强大的编辑器
198 Several developers, themselves active LilyPond users, have also
199 written tools specifically aimed at making the process of editing
200 LilyPond files faster and more effective. For some examples, see
201 @ref{Easier editing}.
204 @divClass{column-center-bottom}
207 还没动心吗? Look at some specific @ref{Examples}. If you've
208 already decided to try LilyPond, first read about our
216 @translationof Examples
218 LilyPond is a powerful and flexible tool for engraving tasks of
219 all kinds. Please browse our gallery of examples and be inspired!
225 This organ work by J.S. Bach is a fairly typical engraving project
228 @exampleImage{bach-bwv610}
232 @subsubheading 复杂的乐谱 Complex Notation
234 This example from @emph{Goyescas} by Enrique Granados shows some
235 of the more advanced features of typesetting, including kneed
236 beams, cross-staff stems, and voice-follow lines.
238 @exampleImage{granados}
244 LilyPond also supports various types of ancient notation, such
245 as this passage of Gregorian chant.
247 @exampleImage{ancient-headword}
253 Contemporary composers find LilyPond well-suited to displaying
254 unusual notation. Here is an excerpt from Trevor Bača's
255 @emph{Čáry}, for unaccompanied bass flute.
262 @subsubheading 有效,灵活地创造表演材料
264 Various performance materials can be created from the same source
265 code. This is an excerpt of @uref{http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/,
266 Nicolas Sceaux's} engraving of Handel's @emph{Giulio Cesare}, in
267 full score, piano-vocal reduction, and a violin part.
269 @exampleImage{sesto-full}
271 @exampleImage{sesto-piano}
273 @exampleImage{sesto-violin}
278 @subsubheading TAB 吉他谱 (Tablature)
280 LilyPond 支持 TAB 吉他谱 (六线谱),which can be customized to
281 suit any instrument that reads from tablature. The tablature
282 staff is generated automatically from notes entered for the 5-line
285 @exampleImage{tab-example}
291 Standard output can be modified heavily. Here is an impressive
292 Schenkerian analysis, created by Kris Schaffer, for an article
293 in @uref{http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8364 , Linux Journal}.
294 The colors have been added for better visibility.
296 @exampleImage{bach-schenker}
302 LilyPond is excellent for vocal music of all kinds, from sacred
303 hymns to opera. Here is a 中世纪经文歌 with slightly unusual
304 requirements. The tenor voice is written in a different meter
305 than the others, but must line up as if it were in the same meter.
306 LilyPond handles this most elegantly. Note also the incipits with
307 Vaticana style clefs, the slashed stems indicating plicated notes,
308 and the ligature braces above certain groups of notes.
310 @exampleImage{aucun-snippet}
314 @subsubheading 教育方面的应用
316 LilyPond 同样非常适合用于教育用途。
319 @exampleImage{theory}
325 It is simple to create pop lead sheets with melody, lyrics,
326 chord names, and fretboards. In this example you see some of the
327 predefined fretboard diagrams, but these can be heavily customized
328 to suit nearly any situation.
336 LilyPond is excellent for large projects like operas or works for
337 full symphony orchestra, as well. In addition, the text-based
338 input provides greater accessibility -- this example was
339 contributed by Hu Haipeng, a blind composer.
341 @exampleImage{orchestra}
345 @divClass{column-center-bottom}
348 还没动心吗?LilyPond 是自由软件, granting you
349 @ref{Freedom}. If you've already decided to try LilyPond, first
350 read about our @ref{Text input}.
356 @translationof Freedom
358 @divClass{column-center-top}
361 @uref{http://www.gnu.org/, GNU} LilyPond is written and maintained
362 by a community of enthusiasts. It is published under the
363 @ref{GPL, GNU General Public License} and the @ref{FDL, GNU Free
364 Documentation License}, giving everybody the freedom to fix,
365 modify, and extend the program. Creating beautiful music should
366 not require hundreds of dollars of software!
370 @c @divClass{column-left-top}
372 @divClass{keep-bullets}
373 @subheading 使用者的好处在哪?
378 No cost: download and try it out! What do you have to lose?
381 Sharing: if you like the program, give a copy to 您的朋友,
385 Source available: if you are curious about how LilyPond creates
386 some notation, you can see exactly how it is done.
389 Extendible: you can add features, fix bugs, and change the
390 functionality. If you are not a programmer, you can hire somebody
393 This may not seem appealing to casual musicians, but the ability
394 to extend software can be highly valuable to serious composers,
395 companies, and academics.
398 Future safety: if a commercial company goes bankrupt, what happens
399 to any electronic music which depends on their products? This is
400 not a concern with LilyPond; even if the entire development team
401 quits (extremely unlikely), the program will still be legally
402 available for copying, modifications, and distribution.
411 @c @divClass{column-right-top}
413 @divClass{keep-bullets}
414 @subheading 为什么 LilyPond 的开发者会无偿 @qq{赠送} 他们的工作?
416 Most of us view LilyPond development as a hobby or volunteer work.
417 So this question is really asking @qq{why do people volunteer}?
422 Fun: working towards a goal can be enjoyable, especially when you
426 Shared goals: we all want beautiful sheet music, but few people
427 have the expertise (and nobody has the time!), to create a program
428 which can handle all situations. By working together -- one
429 person improves the automatic beaming code, another person
430 improves the shape of slurs, and a third person writes
431 documentation explaining how to use these features -- we can
432 achieve our goal with only a fraction of the individual effort.
435 @qq{Gift culture}: the Free Software
436 movement has created many great software projects, such as
437 @uref{http://kernel.org/, GNU/Linux},
438 @uref{http://www.getfirefox.com/, Mozilla Firefox}, and
439 @uref{http://www.wesnoth.org/, Battle for Wesnoth}. Having
440 benefitted from these projects, some developers want to @qq{give
441 back} to the community.
444 Work experience: contributing to free software projects is a great way to
445 practice programming, documentation writing, documentation translation,
446 or design. This experience has helped some developers gain job offers

933 @subheading @qq{编译} 音乐
935 @imageClickable{nereid-shot-small,png, (click to enlarge), nereid-shot,png, right}
937 LilyPond is a @emph{compiled} system: it is run on a text file
938 describing the music. The resulting output is viewed on-screen or
939 printed. In some ways, LilyPond is more similar to a programming
940 language than graphical score editing software.
942 You do not write music by dragging notes from a graphical toolbar
943 and placing them on a dynamically refreshing score; you write
944 music by typing text. This text is interpreted (or @qq{compiled})
945 by LilyPond, which produces beautifully engraved sheet music.
947 People accustomed to graphical user interfaces might need to learn
948 a new way of working, but the results are definitely worth it!
950 @warning{We present a quick overview of our text input -- it's not
951 as complicated as it sounds! Don't worry about understanding
952 every detail in these examples; our beginner documentation covers
953 everything at a much more gradual pace.}

958 Notes are encoded with letters and numbers. Special commands are
959 entered with backslashes.
961 @imageFloat{text-input-1-annotate,png,center}
962 @imageFloat{text-input-1-output,png,center}
964 Alterations are made with different names: add @w{@code{-is}} for
965 sharp, and @w{@code{-es}} for flat (these are Dutch note names, other
966 languages are available). LilyPond figures out where to put

984 The input file contains the notes of piece of music. Score and
985 parts can be made from a single input file, so that changing a
986 note always affects the score and parts. To be able to include
987 the same music in multiple places, the music is assigned to a
988 @qq{variable} (a name).
990 @imageFloat{text-input-parts-both-annotate,png,center}
993 This variable is then used in a single part (here transposed, with

1007 @subsubheading 初学者的文档
1009 We realize that many users find this way of entering music a bit
1010 odd. For this reason, we have written extensive documentation to
1011 help new users, beginning with @ref{Learning}. The Learning
1012 Manual is the best place to start, as many questions are answered
1013 before they come up!
1015 Please read the Learning Manual before complaining about bugs!
1016 New users occasionally believe that LilyPond is not working
1017 correctly, when in fact it is working precisely as designed.

1027 LilyPond is primarily concerned with producing top-quality
1028 engraved sheet music; creating a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
1029 would distract us from this goal. However, there are other
1030 projects aimed at making it easier to create LilyPond input files.
1032 Some editing environments include syntax highlighting, automatic
1033 command completion, and pre-made templates. Other programs
1034 actually provide a GUI which allows direct manipulation of a
1035 graphical score. For more information, see @ref{Easier editing}.

1107 LilyPond tweaks can be attached to notes, chords etc. and are stored
1108 with the Denemo file, so that users can continue to edit graphically.
1110 Moving the cursor in the LilyPond text moves the cursor in the graphical
1111 view, and any syntax errors in your LilyPond tweaks are highlighted in
1112 the text view when printed from there.
