some larger applications

[Markus Lepper]

Dear Madams and Sirs,
dear users of lilypond.

I would like to bring to your attention some perhaps prototypical 
applications of lilypond, carried out in the last years:

1) http://senzatempo.de/mahler/gmahler_sinf3_satz1.html

is a  120 pages analysis of the first movement of the Third Symphony of 
Gustav Mahler (in the German language). It is remarkable as a *dynamic 
document": The text and music paragraphs can be folded in and out in 
various combinations. This project could certainly not have been 
realized with a commercial GUI-based note setting program, because the 
music source texts, with and without analytic remarks (=lilypond 
sources) must be created *programmatically*, to be manageable.

There is only one coherent integrated source text, which can be reached 
by the very last link on the page.

We consider this project a significant step in the format of musicology 
publications, and a thing which only lilypond can support.


2) http://markuslepper.eu/publishscores/lepper-op27+33-20181204.pdf
may perhaps prove the feasibility of longer scores: it is a six-act 
opera with more than sixhundred pages.

3) http://markuslepper.eu/publishscores/lepper-op37-20160529.pdf
is a string quartett which may be interesting because over a third of 
its movements had been composed *directly* by writing lilypond sources.
On http://markuslepper.eu/someSounds.html you can find a sample player 
generation, (in-directly) driven by the lilypond midi output.

4) As an attachment you find a collection of functions useful for 
composing, namely for extracting and combining sub-sections of monodic 
structures, a job we have not found covered in the standard lilypond 
tool sets. (One source file and the generated pdf for control; free to

Hoping to be useful,
yours sincerly,
  Dr. Lepper
