Motivation
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I love to play the tin whistle and around 2012 I was looking for some sheet
|
||
|
|
music. There are a lot of good resources out there but the one thing I have
|
||
|
|
never found was a collection which was free (as in freedom) and usable for
|
||
|
|
printing. And if something does not exist why not try and create it yourself?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At this point I discovered [Lilypond](http://www.lilypond.org/) a wonderful
|
||
|
|
project for music engraving. The best part is that it has support for embedding
|
||
|
|
its scores in LaTeX files so it is possible to get complex layouts without a
|
||
|
|
big hassle. As a programmer I instantly liked the approach because I did not
|
||
|
|
need a big editor but could just write text files which I then could manage
|
||
|
|
with something like [git](http://git-scm.com/).
