Fw: Re: digital music editions - is Lilypond a suitable tool for it?

[musicus]

Dear all,

 

attached there is a small example of a digital music edition. By clicking on the red button you can switch between two variants of measure 2. The html file is mainly an exported lilypond svg file - extended with simple _javascript_ for toggling the visibility.

Necessary changes of Lilypond svg file:
- grouping each variant and providing it with ID

 (My workaround was to put the music of the different variants in markups, which can be tweaked with ID's)

- setting visibility="hidden" for all variants except the first "Standard" one

 

Problems:
- consistent bar width (workaround with MultiMeasureRest.minimum-length)

- by creating multiple staves via markup, vertical aligning with the rest of the music is tricky

 

Additionally you have to create a _javascript_ function every time...

Any help and thoughts are appreciated!

Best regards,

musicus
