[ANN] LilyQuick 0.94beta - Quick note Lilypond entry using MIDI for Linux

[Vaughan McAlley]

Greetings,

I’m pleased to announce LilyQuick 0.94beta. The main new feature is that it counts rhythms as you go and automatically enters bar checks. Also, some settings have been made reachable from within LilyQuick rather than just the settings file.

You can get LilyQuick here: https://github.com/palestrina/lily-q

I did a video demo that you can view here: https://youtu.be/eh8mgF1CNAo

From the README:

Welcome to LilyQuick, originally written as a replacement for Speedy Note Entry when I moved from Finale to Lilypond, and then much improved. The basic idea is to play notes on a MIDI keyboard with your left hand, then while they are sounding, press a note on the numeric keypad with your right hand corresponding to the duration. For example, to get "f2", play an F on the MIDI keyboard, and press number 5 on the numeric keypad. The advantage to this approach is excellent speed and accuracy, and you get to hear the notes as they are being entered.

Happy note-entering!

Vaughan
