This repository was created as a stub to provide a development platform for tools interfacing MEI and LilyPond
The main goals are to implement:
mei2ly
conversion from the MEI encoding format to LilyPond input format.
Possibly with the ultimate goal of having LilyPond read MEI files directly.ly2mei
conversion from LilyPond input to MEI encoding.- possibly a 'live' two-way conversion in the framework of the Frescobaldi application and maybe extend Frescobaldi to be a powerful MEI editing platform.
- a "MEI/LilyPond broker" as described in this post in this thread.
If you are interested in the topic you can post a message to the MEI-L or the lilypond-user mailing list or send an email to ul@openlilylib.org.
Development is not done within this repository but in the Frescobaldi and python-ly projects.
