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 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.

Development

Main development happens at http://trac.vanwa.ch/sing_alongs but there is a mirror of the git repositoryonGithub.
