Fortran library for generating LilyPond code

[Gilberto Agostinho]

Hello LilyPonders,

I am really not sure this will be of any use for anyone else besides myself,
but here we go: today I finally finished cleaning the code of my Fortran
library that I use to generate LilyPond code algorithmically, and I uploaded
it to gitHub together with some few examples. I plan to add some more
complex examples and some clear instructions as soon as I have some free
time. Below is the link to the repository:

What this library does: basically you can write a code in Fortran and it
outputs a perfectly looking .ly file. So let's say you want to create a
staff with a middle C note, you could simply use:

[...]
call STAFF()
call NOTE(60,"4")
call END_STAFF()
[...]

My personal use of this library is to produce algorithmic music. I have been
using these types of techniques for the past year, including an orchestral
work completely generated by the computer (i.e., absolutely NO changes or
corrections or any input from me). I am pretty certain that all this could
be achieved by programming a whole piece using Scheme inside a .LY file, but
that is really beyond me, so I took an alternative route: /if the mountain
won't come to Fortran, then Fortran must go to the mountain/.

If anyone is interested in the subject, feel free to contact me both here in
our forum or by mail.

Take care,
Gilberto
