		turtlebits on Feb 24, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: LilyPond: Music notation for everyone A lot of older classical scores have poor scans, low res, or are hand written. If I enjoy a piece, I'll redo the notation and upload it (generally to IMSLP). I have a MIDI piano so I end up using the keys to input, which can be fairly quick, depending on the piece.

IMSPL looks go be https://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page It seems that some uploads are just PDFs, while others include Lilypond files.

What software do you use to get the MIDI inputs into Lilypond?
