I thought I'd share my LilyPond "system" that I use to generate scores for orchestras.
I just finished a somewhat complicated show : 15 original songs all arranged for SATB chorus of 50+ persons, full symphonic orchestra of 45ish musicians, house band, lighting technician and ptz cameras (yes lighting and camera "scores"). The attached zip file is one of those songs.
This system of mine is frighteningly unmaintainable and written mostly out of despair. I've been building it since about 2013 upgrading it to this day, making yearly overhauls that most always ends up in· copy/pasting all my wrong designs of the past. I am *not* a programmer yet I'm relying heavily on git branches etc to have all my projects in sync with this system.
But hey, it works for what I do for a living and I am quite proud of it.
How to compile it :
./doItAll.sh
I hope it inspires some of you on what (or what not) to do for your setup.
I am immensely grateful for all of you in this mailing list that have helped me build this system. Many(most?) snippets of code I use come shamelessly copied from this very list. So thanks to you all.
Greetings ☺
