An essay from the LilyPond website, written by LilyPond developers, explains some typographical issues addressed by LilyPond:<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> <ul><li>Optical font scaling: depending on the staff size, the design of the music font is slightly altered; this is a feature that <a href="/wiki/Donald_Knuth" title="Donald Knuth">Donald Knuth's</a> <a href="/wiki/Computer_Modern" title="Computer Modern">Computer Modern</a> font is known for. As a result, note heads become more rounded, and staff lines become thicker.</li> <li>Optical spacing: stem directions are taken into account when spacing subsequent notes.</li> <li>Special ledger line handling: <a href="/wiki/Ledger_line" title="Ledger line">ledger lines</a> are shortened when accidentals are nearby, thus enhancing readability.</li> <li>Proportional spacing: notes can be positioned in such a way that exactly reflects their duration. For example, with this setting, the space between consecutive <a href="/wiki/Quarter_note" title="Quarter note">quarter notes</a> is four times greater than between consecutive <a href="/wiki/Sixteenth_note" title="Sixteenth note">sixteenth notes</a>.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview_of_input_syntax">Overview of input syntax</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=LilyPond&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Overview of input syntax">edit</a>]</div> The native input language for LilyPond is comprehensive, and consists of many <a href="/wiki/Command_(computing)" title="Command (computing)">commands</a> needed for expressing any sort of articulation, dynamic, meter, etc. It is similar to that of <a href="/wiki/TeX" title="TeX">TeX</a>. The ability to embed Scheme code within a LilyPond <a href="/wiki/Source_code" title="Source code">source file</a> permits arbitrary extensions to the input language and assists with <a href="/wiki/Algorithmic_composition" title="Algorithmic composition">algorithmic composition</a>. Some general syntactic features are listed below. <ul><li>Single-line <a href="/wiki/Comment_(computer_programming)" title="Comment (computer programming)">comments</a> begin with a percent sign <code>%</code>.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Musical_note" title="Musical note">Notes</a> are represented in pitch-duration format: pitch is specified with <a href="/wiki/Helmholtz_pitch_notation" title="Helmholtz pitch notation">Helmholtz pitch notation</a>, and duration is specified with a <a href="/wiki/Numeral_system" title="Numeral system">numeral</a> based system. The semantics of the pitch-duration format change depending on the active input mode; this is explained in depth in the LilyPond manual. For example, in absolute mode, <code>a'4</code> is an A, one octave up from the base A (A3 in <a href="/wiki/Scientific_pitch_notation" title="Scientific pitch notation">scientific pitch notation</a>), of quarter note length.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a></li> <li>Commands usually begin with a backslash (such as <code>\time</code>, or <code>\slurUp</code>). The function of the command in question determines where the command is placed; for example, if the command is used to indicate a fixed <a href="/wiki/Dynamics_(music)" title="Dynamics (music)">dynamic</a> on a specific note, it is placed after the note.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a></li> <li>Some common commands are represented symbolically to ease typing. One example is with <a href="/wiki/Slur_(music)" title="Slur (music)">slurs</a>, where <code>(</code> and <code>)</code> indicate the beginning and ending of a slur, respectively.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> Another example is with manual <a href="/wiki/Beam_(music)" title="Beam (music)">beaming</a>, where <code>[</code> and <code>]</code> indicate the extent of the beam.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a></li></ul> LilyPond's interface with <a href="/wiki/Pango" title="Pango">Pango</a> requires the input <a href="/wiki/Character_encoding" title="Character encoding">character encoding</a> to be <a href="/wiki/UTF-8" title="UTF-8">UTF-8</a>.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> One benefit of this is that more than one language can be included in the same source file. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Example_of_LilyPond_input_file">Example of LilyPond input file</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=LilyPond&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Example of LilyPond input file">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-lilypond mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre>\version "2.22.2" \include "english.ly" \header { title = \markup { "Excerpt from" \italic "fibonacci" } composer = "Patrick McCarty" % copyright = \markup \fontsize #-5 % { % Copyright © 2009. % Typeset with GNU LilyPond. % Released into public domain by the composer. % } } \paper { paper-height = 4.6\in paper-width = 8.5\in indent = #0 system-count = #2 } \score { \new PianoStaff = "pianostaff" << \new Staff = "RH" \relative c' { \accidentalStyle Score.piano \clef "treble" \time 2/4 \set Score.currentBarNumber = #51 \tempo "Slow and steady" 4 = 60 <e gs,>4 \acciaccatura { cs16[ ds] } <e gs,>4 | % m. 51 <ds gs,>4 \acciaccatura { e16[ ds] } <cs gs>4 | % m. 52 <cs gs>4 \acciaccatura { ds16[ cs] } <c g>4 | % m. 53 <cs gs>4 \acciaccatura { ds16[ e] } <es bs gs>4 | % m. 54 <e gs,>4 \acciaccatura { cs16[ ds] } e16 f gs a | % m. 55 <gs c,>8 \acciaccatura { as16[ gs] } <es b>8 ~ <es b>16 ds b as | % m. 56 b16 d8 bf32 f' g16 af bf c | % m. 57 <df df,>16 ( c af ) <e' e,> ( ds b ) <g' g,> ( ds | % m. 58 \time 3/4 <gs gs,>16 ) \noBeam d,16 f gs a16 e f b c16 d, ( f gs | % m. 59 a16 b ) e, ( f gs16 b c ) f, ( gs16 as b c ) | % m. 60 } \new Dynamics = "Dynamics_pf" { s4 \p \< s4 | % m. 51 s4 s4 | % m. 52 s4 \mp \> s4 | % m. 53 s4 s4 \! | % m. 54 s4 \p s4 | % m. 55 s1 * 2/4 | % m. 56 s4 \< s4 | % m. 57 s4 s4 | % m. 58 \override DynamicText.extra-spacing-width = #'(-0.75 . 0.75) s16 \mf s16 \p s8 s4 s4 | % m. 59 s2. | % m. 60 } \new Staff = "LH" \relative c, { \clef "bass" \time 2/4 cs4. cs8 | % m. 51 cs4. d8 | % m. 52 f4. a8 | % m. 53 f4. d8 | % m. 54 cs4. cs8 | % m. 55 d4 ds | % m. 56 gs4. bf,8 | % m. 57 f'4 b, | % m. 58 \time 3/4 d4. d8 ~ d4 | % m. 59 ef2 f4 | % m. 60 } >> } </pre></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Corresponding_output">Corresponding output</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=LilyPond&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Corresponding output">edit</a>]</div> <a href="/wiki/File:Fibonacci_composition.svg" class="mw-file-description" title="Rendered output"><img alt="Rendered output" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Fibonacci_composition.svg/613px-Fibonacci_composition.svg.png" decoding="async" width="613" height="332" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Fibonacci_composition.svg/920px-Fibonacci_composition.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Fibonacci_composition.svg/1226px-Fibonacci_composition.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="613" data-file-height="332" /></a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="More_complex_output">More complex output</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=LilyPond&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: More complex output">edit</a>]</div> Lilypond can also create extensively customised output.
