OOoLilyPond - Using LilyPond in OpenOffice.org
OOoLilyPond is a macro for OpenOffice.org that simplifies the integration of music notation in OpenOffice.org Writer, Impress and Draw. It can be used to write a book on music theory or to write down exercises for music instruments or voices which need to be commented with lots of text.
The music expression is entered as a text code in the LilyPond language and then rendered into an image. It needs some time to get familar with the LilyPond language but once learned, small pieces of music are entered much faster than with any other sofware.
The author likes to thank Geoffroy Piroux who has written the macro OOoLaTeX. OOoLilyPond has been derived from OOoLaTeX.
