Inactive Google Summer of Code project suggestions
The following list describes GSoC projects that had been proposed
in recent years and which are still considered valuable but for
which we currently don’t have mentors available.
Automated testing and documentation for openLilyLib
openLilyLib is an extension
framework for LilyPond code providing a “snippets” repository and a
suite of integrated packages such as for example page layout tools or
scholarly annotations. It is very powerful and promising, but to really
get off the ground two features are missing: automated testing and
documentation generation.
Automated testing is necessary to ensure modifications to functionality
don’t break other functions within the library. There is already some
Automated Testing of the “snippets” repository with Github’s Travis
server, but this has to be reconsidered and extended to cover the
standalone packages too.
In order to be usable for a wider range of LilyPond users on a “consumer
level” openLilyLib needs proper documentation. This documentation has
to be generated from the sources, so a system is needed that requires
package authors to document the input files and provide additional usage
examples, from which documentation is generated. Ideally but not
necessarily this is implemented as a Git hook, i.e., automatically upon
each update to the repository. We don’t prescribe the tools and
approaches to be used, but the most widely used language in the LilyPond
domain is Python, so there would be some bias towards that.
Alternatively a Scheme solution could be fine so generating the
documentation would actually be triggered by “compiling” a certain
LilyPond input file. In general it is advisable to make use of proven
concepts and tools from other languages.
The eventual output of the documentation should be a static HTML site
that can be viewed locally and/or uploaded to a website. But it would
be beneficial if the tool would first generate an intermediate
representation (e.g., a JSON file with additional media files) from which
a Single Page Application could retrieve content for display on
openLilyLib’s website. Development of
such a SPA can be part of the GSoC project, but is optional.
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: Python or Scheme, static website generator(s) or
(Node.js based) dynamic web application technology. Continuous
Integration (can be learned during the bonding period)
Contemporary Notation
LilyPond is very good at creating non-standard notation. Having to
code every graphical element instead of simply drawing
it may seem cumbersome but is in fact a strong asset. New notational
functionality can be provided with consistent appearance, automatic
layout and a natural syntactic interface.
Within the openLilyLib
library system the student will create a fundamental infrastructure
and building blocks to make creating contemporary notation easier.
Additionally (at least) one concrete package is developed to
cover specific contemporary notation, such as for example the style
of a given composer, extended playing techniques for a specific
instrument or a certain category of effects.
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: Scheme (interaction with LilyPond internals),
contemporary notation techniques
Recommended: sense of building hierarchical frameworks
Mentors: NN, Urs Liska
Frescobaldi Extensions
Starting with the current release 3.1
Frescobaldi has an extension API that
allows the easy integration of arbitrary functionality in the editing
environment. These could range from, say, document statistics and
accounting functionality to fancy features like a built-in video chat
client or a stock market ticker.
We would welcome project suggestions about arbitrary Frescobaldi
extensions of appropriate complexity that add substantial functionality
for working with LilyPond scores which might not be suitable to be
included into Frescobaldi itself.
As suggestions and examples may serve: a project management
extension that can manage repetoire of arbitrary complexity, handle
the generation of template files and the compilation process. Or an
extension to manage the openLilyLib
infrastructure.
Difficulty: easy/medium
Requirements: Python, (PyQt)
Optional: Guile Scheme (if functionality involves LilyPond
internals)
Mentor: Urs Liska
Implement a System to Handle Scores System by System
One strategy that may improve the issue of LilyPond’s compilation time is
to handle scores in a system-by-system manner through partial compilation.
This project explores one approach to achieve this and may lay the ground
for future development towards a “LilyPond server”. It is very ambitions
because it involves working with LilyPond’s internals and optionally a
reference user interface in Frescobaldi.
The idea behind this project is the implementation of a music viewer that
doesn’t display pages but sees a scores as a continuous sequence of systems
that are stitched together. LilyPond can produce such a sequence of files,
and it can be made aware of the moments of each line break. That way only
systems have to be recompiled that are affected by a modification, thus
saving significant waiting times. Optionally there could be new engraving
modes in LilyPond that don’t try to optimize the line breaking, saving
even more time, at least while in content editing mode.
The project is fairly complex and has many more aspects than could be
listed on this page. So if you are interested in this please get in
touch with us as early as possible to evaluate options and discuss the
topics before you write an application.
Difficulty: hard
Requirements: LilyPond/Scheme, Python/PyQt
Optional: C++ if it’s necessary to modify LilyPond itself
Mentors: NN (, Urs Liska)
Community Mentor: Kieren MacMillan
MusicXML
Improving MusicXML import and export functions:
File interchange between LilyPond and other applications using MusicXML
is still a difficult matter. To import MusicXML it has to be converted
manually by the musicxml2ly script. Export to MusicXML is
only available as a rudimentary feature inside Frescobaldi. In order to
provide natural interchange between LilyPond and MusicXML based
applications there’s the need of actual import functionality and a
dedicated export backend.
Importing XML shall provide file, line and column to add origin
attributes to generated objects. That way point and click can be
made available in Frescobaldi or other supported IDEs.
Exporting XML shall be realized with an exporter class like the MIDI
export. This may be based on the work already done in
GSoC 2015
by David Garfinkle. It should be checked if it is possible to use
another XML library than the one provided by guile-2 in order to have
this feature available in current LilyPond (which is based on guile-1.8).
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: MusicXML, Python, Scheme, basic LilyPond knowledge
Recommended: Familiarity with other scorewriters (for cross-testing)
Improve slurs and ties
The engraving quality of slurs and ties is often unsatisfactory. Ties
‘broken’ by clef or staff changes are not handled well. The project
could include collecting and sorting examples of bad output, deciding on
the intended output and writing code to improve them.
Difficulty: hard
Requirements: C++, experience with writing heuristics
Recommended knowledge: LilyPond knowledge, aesthetic sense
Grace notes
Fix problems with synchronization of grace notes. Grace notes can
interfere with LilyPond’s timing and cause odd effects, especially when
multiple staffs are used where some have grace notes and others don’t.
This is one of the longest-standing and one of the more embarrassing
bugs in
LilyPond.
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: C++, MIDI
Recommended: familiarity with LilyPond internals
Improve default beam positioning
For regular, cross-staff, broken and kneed beams. Beaming should depend
on context and neighbor notes (see section 2.2 of
this book). If possible also reduce beaming-computation time.
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: C++, experience with writing heuristics
Recommended knowledge: aesthetic sense
Help improve compilation behavior
Automatic code analysis tools, like valgrind memory leak detection or
callgrind code profilers, provide valuable information about possible
flaws in our C++ code.
Difficulty: medium
Requirements: C++

Two LilyPond projects in Google Summer of Code 2016 April 23, 2016
We are happy to see two students, Nathan Chou and Jeffery Shivers, working on
LilyPond as participants in the Google Summer of Code this year. We hope they
produce great results and stay in the developer community afterwards.
Nathan will tackle an annoying limitation, namely the unability of spanners
to cross voices. His work will make a class of ugly workarounds obsolete.
Jeffery will bring the ScholarLY package[1] to production quality and add a
LaTeX package to it, making it possible to create beautiful critical reports
from data encoded directly in the LilyPond score.

LilyPond 2.18.0 released! December 29, 2013
We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.18.0.
LilyPond is a music engraving program devoted to producing the
highest-quality sheet music possible. It brings the aesthetics of
traditionally engraved music to computer printouts.
Among the numerous improvements and changes, the following might
be most visible:
- Many items are now positioned using their actual outline rather
than a rectangular bounding box. This greatly reduces
the occurrence of unsightly large gaps.
- Sets and overrides can now use the syntax
\override Voice.TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rit."
instead of the previous
\override Voice.TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit."
- Triplets with a given group length can now be written as
\tuplet 3/2 4 { c8 c c c c c }
instead of
\times 2/3 { c8 c c } \times 2/3 { c8 c c }
A full list of noteworthy new features is given in:
Great thanks go to the large number of LilyPond enthusiasts whose
financial backing enabled one core developer, David Kastrup, to
focus exclusively on LilyPond during the entire development cycle.

LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview"
release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty
features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely
printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was
not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over
to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8
input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX
backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the
SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably.

LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying

pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
input/regression/new-slur for some examples.
Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
can be filed at [email protected]
In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
will hold users back in switching.

means that we’re halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual
has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:

LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
(with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
updating the manual, and after that’s done we can release 3.0. The

Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
