Syntax Support

This tool supports LilyPond's notation syntax, including:

  • Single notes and rests (e.g., c4, r4), supporting dots (e.g., c4.).
  • Absolute and relative mode octave switching: In absolute mode, pure letters are in the octave of middle C; `'` represents switching up an octave, and `,` represents switching down an octave. E.g., `g,8. g,16 a,4 g,4 c b,2'
  • Ties and chords (e.g., <c' e' g'>4) and slurs (e.g., c4( d e f)).
  • Tuplet notation (e.g., \tuplet 3/2 { c8 d8 e8 }) indicates playing 3 eighth notes in the time of 2 eighth notes. Also supports specifying duration: \tuplet 3/2 8 { c16 d16 e16 }, which plays three 16th notes with the overall duration of a triplet eighth note.
  • Key signatures, time signatures, tempo commands — e.g., \key d \minor, \time 3/4, \tempo 4 = 100.
  • Dynamic markings: \ppp, \pp, \p, \mp, \mf, \f, \ff, \fff.
  • Articulations: \staccato (short), \accent (emphasis), \tenuto (hold), \arpeggio (arpeggio effect), \fermata (hold), etc.
  • Rhythm control: \swing (swing ratio optional, default 2.0) (swing) and \straight (standard rhythm).
  • Multi-voice notation, e.g., \voiceOne, \voiceTwo, etc.

Tuplet syntax examples:

% Basic tuplet, 3 eighth notes played in 2 eighth note duration
\tuplet 3/2 { c8 d8 e8 } 

% Duration-specific tuplet, 3 sixteenth notes occupy one eighth note duration
\tuplet 3/2 8 { c16 d16 e16 }

% Nested tuplets
\tuplet 5/4 { f8 e f \tuplet 3/2 { e[ f g] } }
      

Swing rhythm example:

\swing
c8 d8 e8 f8 | g8 a8 b8 c'8
\straight
c4 d4 e4 f4
      

Multi-voice example:

\voiceOne
c'4 d'4 e'4 f'4 | g'8 a'8 b'8 c''8 d''4 e''4 |

\voiceTwo
c4 e4 g4 c'4 | e4 g4 c'4 e'4 |
