Hi all,
Now that OLL is settling into its new home, and my own life has settled enough
that I can focus on something other than mere survival, I wanted to revive this
thread, and hopefully move the idea forward significantly in the near future.
The intention of a stylesheet package/system would be to allow a Lilypond (or,
at the very least, OLL) user to apply preset styles to their scores with
minimal effort. Say I want my piano music to look like mid-20th Century Henle
Beethoven scores. I want to put something like
\include "stylesheets.instrument.solo.piano.Henle.Beethoven.1952"
in my score and VOILA! it automagically looks like the attached (which I
generated in Lilypond).
To whatever extent possible:
1. Stylesheets should handle notation fonts, sizes, tweaks, etc. (a.k.a. Every
Possible Thing™).
2. Stylesheets should be modular (e.g., one should be able to easily choose the
Peters 1940 choral format, but use a custom text font set).
3. Stylesheets should be able to include functions, macros, and other “active
code”.
So…
The first big question [thank you, Urs!] is:
> How could such a stylesheet system be organized a) in the ways e.g. CSS
> is organized and how a "publisher" might organize house styles (e.g.
> aesthetic styles, score types etc.)
I would love to discuss this on-list with anyone who has good ideas to offer,
even if you’re not keen on being involved in working out the implementation.
Thanks!
Kieren.
