Description : Flexible Gregorian notation format compiling to canonical gabc
Writer-friendly Gregorian notation format compiling to gabc.
GLY is an acronym of "Gregorio for liLYponders" or "Gregorio with
separate LYrics."
Why
===
One of the most popular solutions for typesetting quadratic notation
used for the Gregorian chant is Gregorio.
Gregorio is a great tool, but I really don't like it's default input
format gabc - it's not very well readable, pain to write, and too
restrictive (for some reason doesn't support other than the predefined
header fields). That led me to designing an alternative,
Gregorio-inspired notation format, which compiles to pure Gregorio gabc.
(Only after that I learned to know the GABC Transcription Tool by
Benjamin Bloomfield, which does something quite similar, but as a
web-based tool. You can think of gly as of a less clever GABC
Transcription Tool for those who strongly prefer command-line and
plaintext-file-based workflows over the web-based ones.)
Features
========
gly language
* music separated from lyrics
* no need of the ubiquitous and tedious parentheses
* music transcription is usually quicker and more comfortable
* separation of "material and form" -> easy copying of the music
or lyrics alone is possible (useful for a composer)
* syllabified lyrics entered in a format inspired by LilyPond
* music and lyrics can be interspersed as needed
* no semicolons in the header
* custom header fields
* several scores per file
gly tool
* transform your gly document to one or more gabc scores
* compile pdf preview with a single command, without writing any (La)TeX
* produces score annotations from provided score header fields
* transform gly document to (modern notation) lilypond document
==============================
Reasons for packaging:
gly enhances "gregorio" / "texlive-binaries", "gregoriotex" /
"texlive-music", and make use of LilyPond
