OOoLilyPond has moved to a new repository: |
https://github.com/OOoLilyPond |
All past/present/future development can be found at the new location. The page you are viewing right here contains all development up to V. 1.0.1, but it will no longer be maintained. |
OOoLilyPond (OLy) is a LibreOffice/OpenOffice extension to include LilyPond music fragments in text documents.
Extras > Extension Manager… > Add…
and then choosing the downloaded extension file (.oxt).
Your toolbars in Writer, Impress and Draw should now have a new "OLy" button which launches the extension.
You can find a detailed documentation here in the wiki.
LilyPond is a powerful musical typesetting software that compiles given source code into graphical output, just like LaTeX does with mathematical formulas.
OOoLilyPond enables you to enter LilyPond code from within your Office document.
Both the resulting image and its source code will be embedded within the document.
No need to keep any additional files other than the Writer/Draw/Impress document itself.
To create a new OLy object, just click the "OLy" button and an editor window will open. Enter some LilyPond code and click the "LilyPond" button. After successful compiling, the editor window will close and the resulting image will be visible in your document.
To edit an existing object, select it first and then click the "OLy" button. In the editor window you will have access to your code again.
If you want to get to know LilyPond, a good place to start is the introduction into LilyPond.
OOoLilyPond (OLy) works with recent versions of LibreOffice and OpenOffice. Older versions should work as well. It has even been tested with OpenOffice 2.4 without issues.
Update: Some partial incompatibilities have occured in LibreOffice 6.1.0 to 6.1.4 - see Issue 22.
Any content (LilyPond code, templates, OLy configuration files) created with/for older OLy versions (OLy 0.3.x, OLy 0.4.x, OLy 0.5.x) will work with OLy 1.0.x, but not necessarily vice versa.
