, etc.
I did a fair bit of back-and-forth with Martin about his lilybin.php script because his effort was using some process from his Android tablet for editing, and seeing the output, of lilypond source. I was very interested in doing that. I had an editor that did lilypond syntax highlighting, DroidEdit, but no way to submit the file for compiling. Martin told me about the Termux application that creates a sandboxed terminal environment with a package manager to install things like php, curl, vi/vim, or emas.
With that SvenA provided an outline of a php script to submit a lilypond source file to
lilybin.com using curl. Lilybin.com will compile the source and return a ID for the results. Curl can then be used a second time to get either pdf or midi results. The php script automates the curl submission and getting the results.
So, now I can save a composition from Dropbox to the Android tablet Downloads folder, see it Termux, edit with emacs, then use lilybin.php and compile, then termux-open to view it, and upload back to Dropbox. This meas that I need not tote my laptop with me everywhere and since the Android has far better battery life, that is a good thing.
