lyp is a package manager for lilypond, letting you easily install and use multiple versions of lilypond, as well as packages of lilypond code.
Changes since the previous release:
- Add
--svg
command line option (#50). - Improve Lilypond command line option parsing.
- Remove non-functional
--open
switch. - Improve error reporting (print backtrace only when
--verbose
is specified). - Add
--music
/--music-relative
command line switch for quickly entering music on the command line (#47). - Fix installation of non-registered github packages (#54).
- Set default encoding to UTF-8 (#52).
- Fix Lilypond install on Windows.
- Accept symbol arguments for require, include commands (#49).
- Improve docs.
- Fix Lilypond installation link (the http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond links don't work anymore).
Installing
Install lyp using the install script (view source):
$ curl -sSL https://git.io/getlyp | bash
or with Wget:
$ wget -qO- https://git.io/getlyp | bash
Windows users can download the Windows release, then run the following commands:
> unzip lyp-1.3.8-win32.zip
> lyp-1.3.8-win32\bin\lyp install self
Important notice: this release requires having git on your machine. Hopefully this restriction will be removed in a future release. To use lyp on a machine without git, you will need to install the lyp gem.
Happy lilyponding!
