lilypond-rs

A Rust wrapper and types for GNU LilyPond.

lilypond-rs provides an API to ergonomically wrap LilyPond, and provide Rust types that resolve to LilyPond output. This is still a work in progress and is not stable as of yet.

• API Reference

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

lilypond = "0.1"

Installing LilyPond

Because this library wraps LilyPond, the GNU LilyPond program must be installed before library usage.

After you install LilyPond, check to see if LilyPond is installed:

lilypond --version
GNU LilyPond 2.20.0
