Hello, Is there a way to typeset (simple) musical scores with ConTeXt/XeTeX? I found Lilypond, but whether it is supported now is obscure. -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

There is a lilypond module for ConTeXt. It passes on the music typesetting to Lilypond and imports the pdf back into ConTeXt. I do not know if it works with XeTeX. Aditya

I just checked - the LilyPond module still works with latest ConTeXt and at least with LilyPond 2.10. Didn't try XeTeX, though. (I should make my christmas songbook ready for the printer finally...)

Hi, For complex score, I think the best choice is to use the best of the two (fantastic) sw, LilyPond and ConTeXt: I typically render the score with lily, and prepare a (more or less complex) layout with ConTeXt I've finished last night this: http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/lamine.pdf and I have to say that I'm very happy of the result (receiving congrats from the players). Many thanks to all for all the development, support and documentation work I hope to write something about these experiences soon Best -a- On 4 May 2007, at 12:06, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:

Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information. (Annabel Chong)
