# LilyPond

... Notová sazba pro každého

### Co je to LilyPond?

LilyPond je programem pro sazbu not s otevřeným zdrojovým kódem, který byl vytvořen s cílem zajistit tisk hudebnin v té nejlepší možné jakosti. Tento program s otevřeným zdrojovým kódem umožňuje dosáhnout krásy ručně rytých tradičních notových sazeb v počítačem vysázených notách.

# Úvod

### Náš cíl

LilyPond vznikl, když dva hudebníci chtěli překročit mrtvé a bezduché vzezření počítačem řízeného tisku hudebnin. Všichni hudebníci chtějí číst pěkné noty, proč by tedy programátoři nemohli napsat program, který by dovedl sázet nádherné orchestrální hlasy?

Výsledkem se stal systém, který hudebníky osvobozuje od podrobností uspořádání notové sazby, takže se mohou cele soustředit na tvorbu not. LilyPond s nimi spolupracuje na tom, aby sazba not dosáhla profesionální jakosti, jež je postavena na celém souhrnu zkušeností a zvyklostech klasické notové sazby.

## Vlastnosti

### Vkusnost

#### Vynikající klasická notová sazba

Používáním LilyPondu obdržíte vkusnou notovou sazbu, která se snadno čte. Vývojářská společnost programátorů strávila tisíce hodin tím, aby vyvinula mocný program určený pro sazbu not, který vydá krásnou notovou sazbu automaticky. Všechna stylistická nastavení, návrh písma a algoritmy LilyPondu byly podníceny nejlepšími ručně vyrytými příklady not. Výstup z LilyPondu má shodný vzhled, vyvážený a vkusný vzhled, jaký mají nejlepší ryté klasické notové zápisy. Více k tomu v našem článku.

#### Účinné nastavení rozvržení

Travte méně času tím, že budete dodatečně měnit notovou sazbu: LilyPond upravuje noty správně hned od začátku. Rozdělení místa vypočítá sám a rovněž spočítá zalomení řádků a stran, aby vytvořil hustý a pravidelný obraz not. Střety mezi textem písně, notami a akordy jsou vyřešeny a všechny obloučky jsou automaticky správně ohnuty!

### Jednoduše při používání

#### Textově založený vstup

LilyPond odebírá textový vstup ASCII, jejž můžete vytvořit s pomocí svého oblíbeného textového editoru, rychle a pohodlně. Vstup obsahuje všechny informace, takže si člověk nemusí pamatovat žádné složité sledy příkazů. Vstup ukládejte jednoduše do textového souboru pro pozdější využití.

#### Spojení not a textu

Do textu můžete vložit kousky s notami, aniž byste vyjmul obrázky a vložil je. S LilyPondem se dají noty souvisle vložit do LaTeX nebo HTML, a pomocí OOoLilyPond se dají začlenit i do dokumentů OpenOffice.org. Jsou také přídavné moduly, s nimiž je kód z LilyPondu umožněn pro různé deníky a stránky wiki, tudíž je možná i společná práce přes internet.

#### Svoboda při omezeních

Textově založený vstup umožňuje psaní notového zápisu i lidem s těžkým tělesným postižením. Uživatelé s omezením pohybu, kteří klávesnici nebo myš používat nemohou, mohou s pomocí programu na rozpoznávání řeči soubory LilyPondu upravovat. A dokonce i úplně slepí uživatelé mohou s pomocí čtečky obrazovky vytvářet soubory LilyPondu – zcela nemožné s na obrazu založenými programy pro zápis not.

#### Rozšiřitelný návrh

Všechna nastavení mohou být změněna, aby odpovídala vaší osobní typografické chuti. Pokud vám to stále ještě nestačí, je tu ještě vždy vestavěný skriptovací jazyk, který se nazývá Scheme, nářečí mocného jazyka LISP. Nastavení, proměnné a funkce jsou všechny vyloženy v podrobné příručce k programu.

### Prostředí

#### Svobodné programy

LilyPond lze stáhnout bez jakéhokoli placení! Skutečně je zcela zadarmo! Získejte jej na stránkách pro stahování.

Jedná se o svobodný program, který je společně se zdrojovým kódem poskytnut k volnému použití – s dovolením měnit jej a kopírovat. Vadí vám nějaká chyba nebo naléhavě potřebujete nějakou novou funkci? Napište ji jednoduše sami, nebo zaplaťte někoho, kdo to pro vás udělá.

#### Vynikající podpora

LilyPond je tu pro všechny rozšířené operační systémy: GNU/Linux, MacOS X aWindows. LilyPond má podrobnou dokumentaci a stovky souborů s příklady. Je tu čilá společnost uživatelů, která odpovídá na otázky na poštovním seznamu LilyPondu, zatímco družstvo vývojářů umožňuje rychlé řešení obtíží.

#### Pokročilé editory

Někteří vývojáři, kteří jsou sami výkonnými uživateli LilyPondu, napsali zvláštní nástroje, které mají být nápomocny při rychlejším a účinnějším vytváření a úpravách souborů LilyPondu. Na některé příklady se podívejte v snadnějších úpravách.

### A co teď?

Ještě nejste přesvědčen? Potom si prohlédněte některé skutečné příklady. Když už jste se rozhodl, že LilyPond vyzkoušíte, přečtěte si nejprve o našem textovém vstupu.

## Příklady

LilyPond je velmi mocný a ohebný nástroj, který dokáže zacházet s notovou sazbou různého druhu. Prohlédněte si naše příklady a nechte se jimi podnítit!

#### Klasická hudba

Toto varhanní preludium od J. S. Bacha je vhodný příkladný projekt sazby not s LilyPondem.

#### Složitý notový zápis

Tento příklad z Goyescas od Enriquea Granadose ukazuje některé z pokročilých funkcí notové sazby, mezi jiným trámce mezi notovými řádky, hlavičky nad notovými řádky přes a čáry pořadí hlasů.

(Klepnout pro zvětšení)

#### Stará hudba

LilyPond má podporu pro různé druhy notového zápisu staré hudby, jakým je například tento úryvek gregoriánského chorálu.

(Klepnout pro zvětšení)

#### Současná hudba

Dnešní hudební skladatelé zjistí, že LilyPond se velmi dobře hodí k tomu, aby popsal neobvyklý notový zápis. Zde úryvek z Čáry od Trevora Bači pro sólo basové flétny.

#### Účinné, pružné vytváření materiálu představení

Rozdílný materiál představení lze vytvářet z téhož zdrojového kódu. Zde úryvek z Händelova Giulio Cesare, napsán Nicolasem Sceauxem, jako notový zápis, klavírní výtah a jako hlas houslí.

#### Tabulatura

LilyPond podporuje tabulaturový notový zápis, který může být uzpůsoben pro oblíbený nástroj, který tabulaturový notový zápis nasazuje. Tabulaturová osnova je vytvořena automaticky na základě not, které člověk zapsal pro pětilinkovou notovou osnovu.

(Klepnout pro zvětšení)

#### Schenkerovy obrazce

Běžný notový obraz se může velmi hodně změnit. Zde působivý Schenkerův rozbor od Krise Schaffera vytvořený LilyPondem pro jeden článek Linux Journal. Barvy byly přidány pro objasnění.

(Klepnout pro zvětšení)

#### Vokální hudba

LilyPond se vynikajícím způsobem hodí pro zápis vokální hudby všeho druhu od chvalozpěvů po operu. Zde jedno středověké moteto s nepatrnými zvláštními požadavky. Hlas tenoru je zapsán v jiném druhu taktu než ostatní hlasy, je ale srovnán s jinými hlasy, jako kdyby měl týž druh taktu. LilyPond si s tím dokáže poradit velmi vkusně. Všimněte si také začátku s klíči ve stylu Vaticana, přeškrtnutých nožiček not pro vydané noty a ligaturových závorek nad určitými skupinami not.

#### Použití pro hudební výchovu

LilyPond se dokonale hodí pro použití v hudební výchově. Zde příklad jednoduché úlohy z kontrapunktu.

(Klepnout pro zvětšení)

#### Popová hudba

Je jednoduché vytvořit list s písničkou s melodií, textem a akordy jakož i symboly hmatů. V tomto příkladu jsou zařazeny některé přednastavené nákresy hmatů, ale tyto lze zcela přizpůsobit tak, aby odpovídaly téměř jakékoli situaci.

(Klepnout pro zvětšení)

#### Velké projekty

LilyPond se znamenitě hodí pro velké projekty, jako jsou opery nebo díla pro velký symfonický orchestr. Dodatečně umožňuje textově založený vstup větší svobodu na překážkách – následující příklad byl dán k volnému použití slepým skladatelem Hu Haipengem.

### A co teď?

Ještě pořád nejste přesvědčen? LilyPond je programem s otevřeným zdrojovým kódem a zaručuje vám svobodu. Pokud jste se již rozhodl, že LilyPond vyzkoušíte, přečtěte si nejprve o našem textovém vstupu.

## Svoboda

### Svobodné programy

GNU LilyPond je napsán a udržován společností nadšenců. Je vydán pod GNU General Public License a GNU Free Documentation License, takže každý je svobodný v tom, že může odstraňovat chyby, měnit program nebo jej rozšiřovat. Uživatele nabytí programu pro vytváření krásné notové sazby nemá stát tisíce korun českých.

### Jaký užitek mají uživatelé?

- Žádné náklady: Nahrajte program a vyzkoušejte jej. Co můžete ztratit?
- Sdílení: Pokud program shledáte být dobrým, můžete jeho kopii předat dál svým přátelům, učitelům, studentům nebo kolegům!
- Zdrojový kód po ruce: Jestliže by vás zajímalo, jak LilyPond vytváří určitý notový zápis, můžete přesně sledovat, jak si program počíná.
- Rozšiřitelnost: Můžete přidávat vlastnosti, odstraňovat chyby a měnit funkčnost. Pokud nejste programátorem, můžete zaměstnat někoho, kdo za vás tento úkol převezme.

  Toto snad příležitostnému hudebníkovi nebude znít jako výhoda, ale možnost program rozšířit se může ukázat jako velmi cenná pro vážné skladatele, vydavatelství not a vědce.

- Jistota pro budoucnost: Když nějaký závod udělá úpadek, co se pak děje s elektronickými notami, které závisí na jeho programech? Takové starosti u LilyPondu mít nemusíte: i kdyby celé vývojářské družstvo najednou přestalo (což je velice nepravděpodobné), přesto je program stále ještě na internetu k dalšímu používání, měnění nebo ke kopírování.

### Proč „dávají“ vývojáři LilyPondu svou práci zdarma?

Většina z nich vidí svou vývojářskou práci na LilyPondu jako svého koníčka nebo jako dobrovolnickou práci. Jeden by se tedy vlastně musel ptát: „Proč lidé něco dělají dobrovolně“?

- Potěšení: Práce na jednom cíli může velmi nadchnout, obzvláště když člověk může pracovat v jednom družstvu.
- Stejné cíle: My všichni chceme pěkně vysázené noty, ale jen málo lidí má schopnosti (a nikdo nemá čas) k tomu, aby napsal program, který by dokázal zvládnout všechny případy. Ale tím, že pracujeme společně – jeden vylepšuje podobu obloučků, jiný vylepšuje kód pro automatické trámce a třetí píše dokumentaci o tom, jak mohou být tyto vlastnosti používány – můžeme našeho cíle dosáhnout, takže každý obstará jen jeden zlomek času, který by na tu práci potřeboval jednotlivec.
- „Dárková kultura“: Hnutí za svobodné programy (nebo „otevřený zdrojový kód“) stvořil mnoho velkolepých programů, například GNU/Linux, Mozilla Firefox a Battle for Wesnoth. Jako poděkování za prospěch, který z takových projektů mají, chtějí někteří vývojáři dát společnosti „něco zpět“.
- Pracovní zkušenost: Přispět nějakému projektu s otevřeným zdrojovým kódem je dobrý způsob, jak se pocvičit v programování, psaní a překládání dokumentace nebo v návrhu. Toto cvičení pomohlo některým vývojářům při získání pracovní nabídky nebo stipendia.

### Doporučení od uživatelů

#### Carter Brey, první violoncello, New York Philharmonic

„… Napsal jsem několik kusů přídavků pro sólové violoncello a vytiskl je pomocí LilyPondu. Mají být vydány u Schirmera. Jsem si jistý, že vaše vlastní verze není vyryta ani z poloviny tak ostře, jako ta moje!“

#### Orm Finnendahl, profesor kompozice, Musikhochschule Freiburg (Vysoká hudební škola ve Freiburgu)

„I když jej [LilyPond] ještě tak dobře neznám, udělal na mě již teď neobyčejný dojem. Použil jsem tento program pro zápis not jednoho moteta od Josquina Despreze v menzurálním notovém zápisu. Je mimo veškerou pochybnost, že LilyPond v rychlosti, v jednoduchosti používání a notové sazbě snadno předčí jiné notační programy.“

#### Darius Blasband, skladatel (Brusel, Belgie)

„[Po první zkoušce orchestru] byla jakost mých notových listů neustále chválena. A to, třebaže jsem na programu nepožadoval žádné z mnoha jeho možností, abych sazbu zlepšil. To, co jsem orchestru rozdal, byla vlastně nezpracovaná, nezměněná verze LilyPondu.“

#### Kieren MacMillan, skladatel (Toronto, Kanada)

„Uznání a dík družstvu vývojářů za jejich neuvěřitelnou práci. Ještě nikdy jsem neviděl něco, co by se podobalo tomu, co jsem dostal od LilyPondu. Jsem naprosto přesvědčen, že moje požadavky na publikaci byly splněny nad očekávání, z toho důvodu mohu tento program využít. [...] takřka nezměněná notová sazba z LilyPondu [...] vypadá lépe než všechny „profesionální“ publikace z poslední doby, s nimiž jsem ji srovnával (tak přibližně všechny noty Warner Bros a dokonce mnohé z „tradičních notačních domů“). [...] “

„Toho teprve musejí Finale/Sibelius/Igor/atd. dosáhnout!“

#### Chris Cannam, vedoucí programátor projektu Rosegarden

„LilyPond je zřejmě supergorilou [notové sazby].“

#### Chris Snyder, Adoro Music Publishing

„Způsob, jakým jsou noty v LilyPondu zadávány, mi dovoluje myslet hudebně – byly doby, kdy jsem se LilyPondu marně pokoušel vysvětlit, jak se má v notách něco vysázet, jen abych zjistil, že, i kdybych to dokázal udělat přesně tak, jak to chtěl skladatel, noty by přesto byly pro čtení velmi nejasné. LilyPond mi v mé dvojí úloze, jakožto vydavatele a sazeče not, velmi ulehčuje mou práci.“

„Používal jsem LilyPond ve svém začínajícím podniku pro tisk not výhradně. Šlo to tak dobře, že bez výjimky byli všichni skladatelé nadchnuti jakostí notové sazby, když jsem jim ukázal korekturní obtah jejich not. Sám si také zasloužím určitý díl z této chvály, neboť jsem strávil mnoho času změnou výstupu, především ligaturami akordů – ale LilyPond dává skvělý bod, kde se dá začít, intuitivní rozhraní a možnost změnit úplně vše, jen když se tomu věnuje nějaký ten čas. Jsem přesvědčen, že žádný obchodovaný výrobek se mu nemůže byť jen přiblížit.“

#### David Bobroff, basový pozounista, Islandský symfonický orchestr

„Jednoduše si myslím, že LilyPond je jednoduše úžasný [..] Čím více se o něm naučím, tím více jej mám rád!“

#### Vaylor Trucks, hráč na elektrickou kytaru (Ano, má spojitost s)

„LilyPond na mě udělal opravdu velký dojem[..]“

„JE TO NEJLEPŠÍ PROGRAM VŠECH DOB!“

„Mnohokrát, mnohokrát všem děkuji za jejich tvrdou práci a obětavost!“

#### Nicolas Sceaux, Mutopia - spolupracovník

„Rozvíjel jsem k němu takovou nějakou nenávistnou lásku. Lásku, protože první list s notami, který jsem uviděl, vypadal tak dobře. Popis lže, když jde o krásu LilyPondu – je v tomto příliš skromný! [...] protože LilyPond se pořád zlepšuje, a jak se důkladně zabývám tím, jak se věci ve Scheme dělají, mám mnohem méně pocitů marnosti. Na každý pád bych chtěl říci: Děkuji vám za to, že LilyPond nabízíte, je skutečně báječný!“

#### Werner Lemberg, Dirigent v koblenzském divadle a vynikající dělník GNU

„Celkově LilyPond dělá čistou práci!“

#### Paul Davis, vývojář JACKa a Ardouru

„Myslím si, že [LilyPond] je mimořádný program, a že dosahuje překrásných výsledků. Poté co jsem si o něm v posledním roce přečetl jeden rozhovor, řekl jsem různým přátelům o jeho možnostech.“

### A co teď?

Přečtěte si o našem textovém vstupu.

## Textový vstup

### „Sestavení“ not

(Klepněte kvůli zvětšení)

LilyPond je sestaveným systémem: je spuštěn přes textový soubor, který noty popisuje. Výsledný výstup je prohlížen na obrazovce nebo vytištěn. V určité smyslu je LilyPond spíše programovacím jazykem než obrazovým programem pro sazbu not.

Člověk noty nepíše tak, že obrázky not vytáhne z nakreslené laťky a umístí je do stále se dynamicky obnovující notové osnovy. Místo toho píše text. Tento text je LilyPondem vykládán (nebo „sestaven“) a přitom je vyráběna pěkně vypadající notová sazba.

Lidé zvyklí na obrazné sázení not mohou potřebovat nějakou chvíli na to, aby se naučili novým pracovním způsobům, ale výsledek ztrátu vzniklou při vynaložení dodatečného úsilí vyrovnává.

Pozor: Ukazujeme krátký přehled našeho textového vstupu – není to tak složité, jak to zní. Nedělejte si žádné starosti, když v příkladu všemu neporozumíte. V naší dokumentaci je o všech jednotlivých podrobnostech velice důkladně pojednáno.

#### Je to jednoduché tak jako A B C

Noty jsou kódovány písmeny a čísly. Zvláštní příkazy jsou zadávány zpětným (obráceným) lomítkem.

Předznamenání jsou přidávána pomocí různých koncovek: `-is` za notou sází křížek, `-es` zato béčko (– toto jsou české koncovky, koncovky v jiných jazycích jsou možné také). LilyPond sám rozhodne o tom, kde předznamenání umístí.

#### Popová hudba

Akordy a text písničky mohou být jednoduše dány dohromady na jednom listu.

#### Orchestrální hlasy

Soubor se vstupem obsahuje noty jednoho díla. Noty a hlasy mohou být vytvořeny z jednoho jediného vstupního souboru. Když je změněna nějaká nota, změna se opět současně nalézá i v hlasu a v notovém zápisu. Tím, že noty jsou využity vícekrát, měly by být přiděleny jedné proměnné:

S touto proměnnou pak lze vytvořit sólový hlas (zde přesunut, pomlky jsou staženy):

Stejná proměnná se potom používá v notovém zápisu (zde v původní tónové výšce):

#### Dokumentace pro začátečníky

Je nám jasné, že tento způsob psaní not se mnoha uživatelům zdá podivný. Z toho důvodu jsme napsali důkladné poučení, jež má novým uživatelům pomoci. Člověk by měl začít s částí nazvanou úvod. Příručka k učení se chová jako úvod a začátek při práci s LilyPondem; jsou zde zodpovězeny četné otázky, dříve než by si je člověk vůbec mohl položit!

Čtěte, prosím, příručku k učení se, předtím než si budete stěžovat na chyby! Noví uživatelé si někdy myslí, že LilyPond nepracuje správně, zatímco program dělá ve skutečnosti přesně to, k čemu byl napsán.

Další informace se nacházejí pod příručkami

#### Jednodušší prováděcí prostředí

(Klepněte kvůli zvětšení)

LilyPond se především stará o sázení not v té nejlepší jakosti – programování obrazného uživatelského rozhraní (GUI) by nás od tohoto úkolu jen odvádělo. Přesto jsou jiné projekty, jejichž cílem je vytváření souborů LilyPond.

Některá prováděcí prostředí zahrnují zvýrazňování skladby, automatické doplňování a předvyrobené předlohy. Jiné programy poskytují k použití skutečné obrazné uživatelské rozhraní, s nímž člověk může noty upravovat obrazově. Další informace se nacházejí pod snadnějšími úpravami.

### A co teď?

Jste nyní připraveni na stažení LilyPondu? Ještě stále nejste přesvědčeni? Přečtěte si o snadnějších úpravách.

## Snadnější úpravy

### LilyPondTool

(Klepněte kvůli zvětšení)

https://lilypondtool.organum.hu

Vytvořen jako přídavný modul pro textový editor jEdit, je LilyPondTool jedním z textově založených nástrojů s nejvíce vlastnostmi pro sázení a úpravy notových zápisů LilyPond. K tomu patří průvodce dokumentem pro jednodušší vytvoření nového souboru s podporou pro písňový text a vložený prohlížeč souborů PDF s pokročilou podporou pro kroky ukázat a klepnout.

### Frescobaldi

(Klepněte kvůli zvětšení)

http://www.frescobaldi.org

Frescobaldi je jednoúčelový notový a textový editor pro LilyPond s vestavěným náhledem na soubory PDF, s mnohostrannou podporou pro vytváření nových notových zápisů a mnoha vlastnostmi pro provádění úprav. Je zbudován na základě knihoven KDE 4 a v současnosti běží na všech druzích linuxových systémů a na jiných UNIXových operačních systémech.

### Obrazné prostředí: Denemo

(Klepněte kvůli zvětšení)

http://denemo.org

Denemo je obrazný editor, který dokáže vyrábět soubory LilyPond (vstupní formát je ve verzi 2.8.7) a dovoluje rovněž přehrávání zvuku. Tím může být soubor LilyPondu pozorován souběžně s názorným notovým obrazem. Dodatečné změny je možné připojit k předmětům not, akordů atd. – budou uloženy společně se souborem Denemo, takže uživatel může dále pracovat s obrazem.

Když uživatel přemístí ukazatel v textu LilyPondu, přemístí se i v notovém obrazu, a všechny chyby ve skladbě drobných vylepšení LilyPondu budou označeny v textovém pohledu, když se z něj tiskne.

### Textové editory

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/

Emacs je textový editor s vlastnostmi, které pracují v závislosti na jazyku, pro velmi mnoho počítačových jazyků. Emacs je vysoce rozšiřitelný editor, který je možné používat i jako jednotné vývojářské prostředí. Má režim „lilypond“-, který poskytuje jazyková vymezení pro práci se soubory LilyPondu. Jeden z našich vývojářů napsal i hlavní režim pro Emacs, lyqi.

Vim je malý textový editor a rozšíření staršího unixového editoru `vi`. Je rovněž rozšiřitelný a nastavitelný.

Obecně platí, že pravděpodobně sáhnete po jiném editoru, když budete chtít zapisovat vstupní soubory pro LilyPond, pokud s Emacsem nebo Vimem nejste obeznámeni již od začátku.

Další informace k nastavení Emacsu a Vimu se nacházejí pod Text editor support.

Editor TexShop pro MacOS X lze rozšířit, tudíž umí spouštět LilyPond, `lilypond-book` a `convert-ly` z editoru. K tomu se používá rozšíření, které je dostupné zde:

>     http://users.dimi.uniud.it/~nicola.vitacolonna/home/content/lilypond-scripts.

Je také balíček s LilyPondem pro TeXMate, obchodovaný editor pro MacOS. Dá se nainstalovat provedením následujícího příkazu v příkazovém řádku:

>     mkdir -p /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles
>     cd /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles
>     git clone http://github.com/textmate/lilypond.tmbundle.git

### Jiné programy umí vyvádět kód LilyPondu

#### Editory notového zápisu, tabulatur a MIDI:

- Rosegarden, Zvukový a MIDI sekvencer, který rovněž podporuje editor notového zápisu pro úpravy jednotlivých notových osnov.
- NtEd, založený na knihovně Cairo, má pokusnou podporu pro vyvedení LilyPondu.
- TuxGuitar, Vícestopý editor tabulatur a přehrávač, staví vedle tabulatur také pohled na notový zápis a dovede vyvádět do LilyPondu.
- MuseScore má neúplné vyvedení pro LilyPond, je ale činorodě vyvíjen.
- Canorus také umí vyvádět do LilyPondu, je ovšem ještě ve stadiu beta. Osoby ochotné jej zkoušet jsou vítány.
- Rumor, monofonní převodník ve skutečném čase z MIDI do LilyPondu.

#### Algoritmické vyvíječe kódu

- Strasheela je „a nadmíru výrazný na omezení založený systém pro skládání hudby“.
- FOMUS, knihovna LISP, pro vytváření hudebního zápisu z programových prostředí pro počítačovou hudbu.

### Další programy, které nejsou činně vyvíjeny

- LilyKDE byl nahrazen Frescobaldi a existuje pouze jako LilyKDE3 pro KDE 3.5 a lilypond-KDE4 pro KDE 4.1.
- NoteEdit, který zaváděl MusicXML, se rozdělil a je dále vyvíjen jako NtEd a Canorus.
- LilyComp je obrazný program pro notový zápis, který se chová jako psací blok pro čísla, se kterým se dá vytvářet notový zápis LilyPondu.

### A co teď?

Jste nyní připraven stáhnout si LilyPond?

Stále ještě nejste přesvědčen? Mnozí skladatelé, hudebnící a a dirigenti se naučili, jak se v našem vstupním formátu zapisují noty. Zkušení uživatelé dokonce podali zprávu, že v LilyPondu dokáží napsat celý notový zápis rychleji než s klavírní klávesnicí nebo myší plus obrazným uživatelským rozhraním! Snad se chcete ještě jednou podívat, které vlastnosti, příklady nebo svobodu LilyPond dovoluje, nebo si přečíst o tvorbě a posudcích našich uživatelů. Dodatečně jsme vysvětlili náš přístup ke kráse klasického rytí vytvořené počítačem v našem pozadí.

Pozor: LilyPond je textově založený program pro notový zápis, podobá se spíše programovacímu jazyku než nějakému grafickému programu pro sazbu not. Předtím než si LilyPond stáhnete, přečtěte si, prosím, o našem textovém vstupu.

### Balíčky

#### Stažení

- Mac OS X x86 32-bit: LilyPond 2.22.1-1 Pro MacOS X 10.4 nebo vyšší, běží na Intel CPU (pokud si nejste jisti, použijte tento).

  MacOS X 10.7 Lion zatím není podporováno.

#### Instalace

Dvakrát klepněte na stažený soubor, pak jej táhněte tam, kde chcete program uložit.

#### Odstranění

Odstraňte adresář LilyPond.app.

### Sestavení souboru

Pozor: These instructions assume that you are using the LilyPond application. If you are using any of the programs described in Snadnější úpravy, consult the documentation for those programs should you have any problems.

#### Step 1. Create your ‘`.ly`’ file

Double click the `LilyPond.app`, an example file will open.

From the menus along the top left of your screen, select `File > Save`.

Choose a name for your file, for example ‘`test.ly`’.

#### Step 2. Compile (with LilyPad)

From the same menus, select `Compile > Typeset`.

A new window will open showing a progress log of the compilation of the file you have just saved.

#### Step 3. View output

Once the compilation has finished, a PDF file will be created with the same name as the original file and will be automatically opened in the default PDF viewer and displayed on your screen.

#### Other commands

To create new files for LilyPond, begin by selecting `File > New`

or `File > Open` to open and edit existing files you have saved previously.

You must save any new edits you make to your file before you `Compile > Typeset` and if the PDF file is not displayed check the window with the progress log for any errors.

If you are not using the default Preview PDF viewer that comes with the Mac Operating system and you have the PDF file generated from a previous compilation open, then any further compilations may fail to generate an update PDF until you close the original.

### Používání v příkazovém řádku

Pozor: Pokud jste spokojen s rozhraním, těchto příkazů, prosím, nevšímejte.

#### MacOS X v příkazovém řádku

Nejjednodušším způsobem, jak vyvolat lilypondovské skripty, je nějaké „Pomocnéskripty“ vytvořit.

1. Vytvořte adresář, ve kterém budou tyto skripty uloženy:

   >     mkdir -p ~/bin
   >     cd ~/bin

2. Vytvořte soubor s názvem `lilypond` a obsahem:
   Hledá se pomoc: obvious css issue to be dealt with. :(

       exec ADR/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@"

   Pozor: ADR je obvykle `/Applications/`

3. Vytvořte podobné soubory `lilypond-book`, `convert-ly` a další skripty, jež hodláte používat, přičemž nahraďte `bin/lilypond` pomocí `bin/convert-ly` (nebo jinými názvy programů).
4. Udělejte soubor spustitelný:

   >     chmod u+x lilypond

5. Nyní adresář musíte přidat do vaší cesty. Změňte (nebo vytvořte) soubor s názvem `.profile` ve svém domovském adresáři (home), takže obsahuje:

   >     export PATH=$PATH:~/bin

   Tento soubor by měl končit jedním prázdným řádkem.

#### Vyvolání jednotlivých skriptů

Skripty – jako `lilypond-book`, `convert-ly`, `abc2ly` a také sám `lilypond` – jsou obsaženy v souboru `.app` pro MacOS X.

Skripty mohou být stejně tak vyvolány z příkazového řádku tak, že člověk je vyvolá přímo:

>     path/to/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond

Totéž platí i pro všechny ostatní skripty v tomto adresáři, jako jsou `lilypond-book` a `convert-ly`.

## Windows

Pozor: LilyPond je textově založený program pro notový zápis, podobá se spíše programovacímu jazyku než nějakému grafickému programu pro sazbu not. Předtím než si LilyPond stáhnete, přečtěte si, prosím, o našem textovém vstupu.

### Balíčky

#### Stažení

- Windows: LilyPond 2.22.1-1 Pro Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8 a 10.

#### Instalace

1. najděte stažený soubor a dvakrát poklepejte, abyste spustil instalační program. Následujte pokyny, které vám instalátor dává; doporučujeme vám přijmout všechny instalační volby a souhlasit s výchozím instalačním adresářem. Když je instalátor hotov, klepněte na „Dokončit“. LilyPond je nyní nainstalován.

#### Odstranění

Pro odstranění LilyPondu, můžete buď

1. vyhledat adresář s LilyPondem ve spouštěcí nabídce a klepnout na „Odinstalovat“. Když je odinstalátor hotov, klepněte na „Dokončit“,
2. nebo přes správu systému přejděte na správu programů, najděte záznam s LilyPondem a zvolte jeho odstranění. Když je odinstalátor hotov, klepněte na „Dokončit“.

### Sestavení souboru

Pozor: These instructions assume that you are using the built-in LilyPad editor. If you are using any of the programs described in Snadnější úpravy, consult the documentation for those programs should you have any problems.

#### Step 1. Create your ‘`.ly`’ file

Double-click the LilyPond icon on your desktop and an example file will open.

From the menus that appear along the top of the example file, select `File > Save as`. Do not use the `File > Save` for the example file as this will not work until you have given it a valid LilyPond file name.

Choose a name for your file, for example ‘`test.ly`’.

#### Step 2. Compile

To turn your LilyPond file into a music score, you need to compile it. This can be done a number of ways – using drag and drop, with right-click, double-clicking or using the command line (a DOS box). We’ll look at the first three to start with.

1. Drag-and-drop the file directly onto the LilyPond icon on the desktop.

Not much will seem to happen, but after a short while, you should see two new files on your desktop – ‘`test.log`’ and ‘`test.pdf`’.

2. Right-click on the file and from the pop-up context menu and choose `Generate PDF`.

3. Or simply double-click the ‘`test.ly`’.

#### Step 3. View output

‘`test.pdf`’ contains the engraved ‘`test.ly`’ file. Double-click it and it should open in your PDF viewer:

#### Other commands

To create a new file, begin by selecting `File > New` from within any previously created file or `File > Open` to open and edit any files you have saved before. You can also edit a file by right-clicking it and selecting `Edit source`.

You must save any edits you make before you try to compile your file. If the PDF file is not created or the output is not what you expected, check the log file that will have been created during the compilation attempt for any errors.

This log file is overwritten each time you compile your LilyPond file.

If you are viewing your file in a PDF viewer, then you must close the PDF if you wish to try a new compilation as it may fail to create the new PDF while it is still being viewed.

### Používání v příkazovém řádku

Pozor: Pokud jste spokojen s rozhraním, těchto příkazů, prosím, nevšímejte.

#### Windows v příkazovém řádku

Nejjednodušším způsobem, jak LilyPond používat, je, přidat instalační adresář do proměnné prostředí „Cesta“.

1. Otevřete „Systém“ ze správy systému, vyberte kartu „Pokročilé“ a klepněte na proměnné prostředí.
2. Vyberte proměnnou „Cesta“ v seznamu s proměnnými prostředí a klepněte na Upravit. Obdržíte okno s nadpisem „Upravit systémovou proměnnou“, do pole „Hodnota proměnné“ přidejte název adresáře s programem, nějak tak:

   >     [přednastavená cesta - PATH];ADR\LilyPond\usr\bin

   Pozor: ADR je obvykle `C:\Program Files`.

   a klepněte na „OK“ pro uzavření okna.

#### Vyvolání jednotlivých programů

LilyPond-Programme – jak mohou být lilypond, lilypond-book, convert-ly a tak dále – vyvolány z příkazového řádku:

>     lilypond test.ly

## GPL

### Povolení k programu

GNU LilyPond je zveřejněn pod GNU General Public License. Úvod do povolení a naše důvody pro tuto volbu naleznete v Svoboda.

### GNU General Public License

Version 3, 29 June 2007

    Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. https://fsf.org/

    Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
    license document, but changing it is not allowed.

## Preamble

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.

The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program—to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.

For the developers’ and authors’ protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users’ and authors’ sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.

Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users’ freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.

Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

## TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Definitions.

   “This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

   “Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.

   “The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.

   To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.

   A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.

   To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.

   To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.

   An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.

2. Source Code.

   The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work.

   A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.

   The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.

   The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work’s System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.

   The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.

   The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.

3. Basic Permissions.

   All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.

   You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.

   Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.

4. Protecting Users’ Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.

   No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.

   When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work’s users, your or third parties’ legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.

5. Conveying Verbatim Copies.

   You may convey verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.

   You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.

6. Conveying Modified Source Versions.

   You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

   1. The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
   2. The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
   3. You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
   4. If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.

   A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.

7. Conveying Non-Source Forms.

   You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:

   1. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
   2. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
   3. Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
   4. Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
   5. Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.

   A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.

   A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.

   “Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.

   If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).

   The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.

   Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.

8. Additional Terms.

   “Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.

   When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.

   Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:

   1. Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
   2. Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
   3. Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
   4. Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
   5. Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
   6. Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.

   All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.

   If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.

   Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.

9. Termination.

   You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).

   However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

   Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

   Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.

10. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.

    You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.

11. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

    Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

    An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party’s predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.

    You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.

12. Patents.

    A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor’s “contributor version”.

    A contributor’s “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.

    Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor’s essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.

    In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.

    If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient’s use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.

    If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.

    A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.

    Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.

13. No Surrender of Others’ Freedom.

    If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.

14. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.

15. Revised Versions of this License.

    The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

    Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

    If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.

    Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.

16. Disclaimer of Warranty.

    THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

17. Limitation of Liability.

    IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

18. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.

    If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

## END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

## How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

    one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
    Copyright (C) year name of author

    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at
    your option) any later version.

    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
    WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU
    General Public License for more details.

    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
    along with this program.  If not, see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

    program Copyright (C) year name of author
    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘show w’.
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
    under certain conditions; type ‘show c’ for details.

The hypothetical commands ‘`show w`’ and ‘`show c`’ should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program’s commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/.

The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first, please read https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html.

### Povolení k dokumentaci

Dokumentace pro GNU LilyPond je zveřejněna pod GNU Free Documentation License. Uvedení do tohoto povolení a důvody pro jeho používání najdete v části věnované svobodě.

### GNU Free Documentation License 1.1

Version 1.3, 3 November 2008

    Copyright © 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
    https://fsf.org/

    Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
    of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

1. PREAMBLE

   The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document free in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

   This License is a kind of “copyleft”, which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.

   We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

2. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

   This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The “Document”, below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as “you”. You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.

   A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

   A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document’s overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.

   The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.

   The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.

   A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.

   Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.

   The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work’s title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

   The “publisher” means any person or entity that distributes copies of the Document to the public.

   A section “Entitled XYZ” means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, “Endorsements”, or “History”.) To “Preserve the Title” of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section “Entitled XYZ” according to this definition.

   The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.

3. VERBATIM COPYING

   You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.

   You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

4. COPYING IN QUANTITY

   If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document’s license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

   If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.

   If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.

   It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

5. MODIFICATIONS

   You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:

   1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
   2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.
   3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.
   4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
   5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.
   6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
   7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document’s license notice.
   8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
   9. Preserve the section Entitled “History”, Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled “History” in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.
   10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the “History” section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
   11. For any section Entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”, Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
   12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
   13. Delete any section Entitled “Endorsements”. Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.
   14. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled “Endorsements” or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
   15. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.

   If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version’s license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.

   You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.

   You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.

   The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

6. COMBINING DOCUMENTS

   You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.

   The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.

   In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled “History” in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled “History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled “Acknowledgements”, and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You must delete all sections Entitled “Endorsements.”

7. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

   You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.

   You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

8. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

   A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

   If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document’s Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.

9. TRANSLATION

   Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.

   If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, or “History”, the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title.

10. TERMINATION

    You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.

    However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

    Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

    Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does not give you any rights to use it.

11. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

    The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/.

    Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.

12. RELICENSING

    “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site” (or “MMC Site”) means any World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration” (or “MMC”) contained in the site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site.

    “CC-BY-SA” means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license published by that same organization.

    “Incorporate” means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in part, as part of another Document.

    An MMC is “eligible for relicensing” if it is licensed under this License, and if all works that were first published under this License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.

    The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.

## ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page:

      Copyright (C)  year  your name.
      Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
      under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
      or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
      with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
      Texts.  A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
      Free Documentation License''.

If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the “with…Texts.” line with this:

        with the Invariant Sections being list their titles, with
        the Front-Cover Texts being list, and with the Back-Cover Texts
        being list.

If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.

If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.

Pozor: Předtím než napíšete nějakou zprávu na seznam pro hlášení chyb, přečtěte si, prosím, naše směrnice pro Hlášení chyb.

## Malé příklady

### Co jsou to „malé příklady“?

Malý příklad je příkladem, z něhož už nejde nic víc odstranit.

### Proč bych je měl vytvářet?

- Čím je příklad jednodušší, tím rychleji mu mohou případní pomocníci porozumět a vám pomoci.
- Jednoduchý příklad ukazuje, že jste se nejdříve sami namáhali s řešením potíží. Když lidé posílají velké úryvky kódu, vypadá to tak, že je ani nezajímá, jestli se jim pomůže, nebo nepomůže.
- Vytváření malého příkladu vás nutí k porozumění tomu, oč jde. Mnoha chybných hlášení potíží by se šlo vyvarovat, kdyby se člověk nejprve pokusil o vytvoření malého příkladu. Když ve svém malém příkladu nemůžete „chybu“ napodobit, půjde nejspíš o malé porozumění LilyPondu, nikoli o chybu.

### Jak jej mám vytvořit?

- Vždy vložit číslo \version.
- Dělejte jej malý! Příklady na rozdělení místa nebo na rozvržení strany mohou vyžadovat mnoho taktů not, ale většinu potíží je možné ukázat na jednom taktu.
- Když se pokoušíte o vytvoření příkladu, pokuste se nejprve úryvek svého souboru odkomentovat (`%` nebo `%{ … %}`). Když něco můžete odkomentovat, a potíže přetrvávají, odstraňte odkomentované úryvky.
- Vyvarujte se složitých not, tónin, klíčů nebo druhů taktů, je to pak vaše starost navíc.
- Nepoužívejte `\override` nebo `\set`, pak se totiž chyba ukazuje v souvislosti s těmito příkazy.

## Hlášení chyb

### 1. krok: Známé chyby

Když máte vstupní kód, který vytváří pád programu nebo chybnou sazbu not, potom je to ta chyba. Seznam se známými chybami je při sledování chyb Google:

>     https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues

Pozor: Sami, prosím, NEPŘIDÁVEJTE nová hlášení chyb! Když je chybu možné vidět ve sledovači chyb, můžete sami přidat další informace.

### 2. krok: Vytvoření hlášení o chybě

Pokud se vám podařilo odhalit chybu, která není v seznamu, pomozte nám, prosím, vytvořením hlášení o chybě.

Pozor: Hlášení o chybách přijímáme jen jako malé příklady. Máme velmi omezené zdroje na zpracování hlášení o chybách, a z toho důvodu každý příklad, který není malý, je odmítnut. Skoro každou chybu lze předvést s pomocí čtyř anebo ještě méně not!

Příklad dobrého hlášení o chybě:

>     %% the octavation command doesn't
>     %% change the output at all!

>     \version "2.10.0"
>     \relative c''' {
>       c1
>       #(set-octavation 1)
>       c1
>     }

### 3. krok: Poslání hlášení o chybě

Když jste se ujistili, že chyba ještě není známá, a vytvořili hlášení o chybě, pošlete nám je, prosím!

- Pokud již odebíráte poštovní seznam +bug-lilypond@gnu.org, můžete zcela prostě poslat dopis elektronickou poštou.

Když bylo vaše hlášení o chybě zasláno na seznam, vyšetří naši odklízeči chyb (angl. bug squad) tuto zprávu. Počkejte, prosím, 24 hodin, neboť máme jen malý počet pomocníků. Budete případně požádáni o více informací, nebo bude zpráva přidána do sledovače, a vy budete informováni, jaké dostala číslo.

Můžete chybu označit tak, že vždy obdržíte dopis, když se pro tuto chybu přihodí nějaká činnost. K tomu potřebujete mít účet u Google.

## Pomozte nám

### We need you!

Thank you for your interest in helping us — we would love to see you get involved! Your contribution will help a large group of users make beautifully typeset music.

Even working on small tasks can have a big impact: taking care of them allows experienced developers work on advanced tasks, instead of spending time on those simple tasks.

For a multi-faceted project like LilyPond, sometimes it’s tough to know where to begin. In addition to the avenues proposed below, you can send an e-mail to the lilypond-devel@gnu.org mailing list, and we’ll help you to get started.

## Vývoj

## Vývoj pro LilyPond 2.23.2

Pozor: Zde se jedná o nestálé vývojářské verze. Pokud nevíte přesně, jak se LilyPond instaluje a používá, důrazně doporučujeme používat verze stálé Stažení a číst Příručky.

### Čísla uveřejnění

Jsou dvě zveřejňovací řady pro LilyPond: stálé verze a nestálé vývojářské verze. Stálé verze mají sudé druhé číslo verze (čili zhruba 2.8, 2.10, 2.12). Vývojářské verze mají druhé číslo verze liché (tedy 2.7, 2.9, 2.11).

### Stažení

Návod pro git a sestavení se nachází v Contributor’s Guide (jen v angličtině).

> lilypond git skladiště

Spisovatelé dokumentace a zkoušeči by měli stahovat nejnovější binární balíčky:

### Two LilyPond projects in Google Summer of Code 2016 April 23, 2016

We are happy to see two students, Nathan Chou and Jeffery Shivers, working on LilyPond as participants in the Google Summer of Code this year. We hope they produce great results and stay in the developer community afterwards.

Nathan will tackle an annoying limitation, namely the unability of spanners to cross voices. His work will make a class of ugly workarounds obsolete. Jeffery will bring the ScholarLY package[1] to production quality and add a LaTeX package to it, making it possible to create beautiful critical reports from data encoded directly in the LilyPond score.

Among the numerous improvements and changes, the following might be most visible:

- Many items are now positioned using their actual outline rather than a rectangular bounding box. This greatly reduces the occurrence of unsightly large gaps.
- Sets and overrides can now use the syntax

  >     \override Voice.TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rit."

  instead of the previous

  >     \override Voice.TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit."

- Triplets with a given group length can now be written as

  >     \tuplet 3/2 4 { c8 c c  c c c }

  instead of

  >     \times 2/3 { c8 c c }  \times 2/3 { c8 c c }

A full list of noteworthy new features is given in:

LilyPond now has a Documentation Editor, Graham Percival. From now on, he will oversee that useful information flows from the mailiing list into the manual. Also, if there are unclear sections in the manual, let him know via one of the mailing lists. As a start of his career, he worked to transform the "Templates" section of the website into a readable and comprehensive chapter of the user manual. A lot of cheers for Graham!

### August 29, 2004

LilyPond 2.3.13 was released. The new slur code was improved, scripts can be made to avoid slurs, by setting inside-slur to #f. It is no longer necessary to instantiate "up" and "down" staves separately when using \autochange. Jurgen Reuter refreshed the logic around mensural flags, so they are adjusted for staff lines once again. Stará stažení and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.

LilyPond 2.3.10 is out. This release has a major clean-up of the input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That means that we’re halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:

- Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan
- There is a new markup command ‘\postscript’ that takes a string that is dumped as verbatim PostScript

### July 30, 2004

LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file. This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is updating the manual, and after that’s done we can release 3.0. The projected date for this to happen is in about a month. Stará stažení and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.

Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In the LilyPond emacs mode, the ‘|’ will now display the current beat within the measure. Stará stažení and check out the changes in the ChangeLog.
