SMUG

The Sheet Music Generator.

Prerequisites

You will need Leiningen 2.0.0 or above installed.

Running

To start a web server for the application, run:

lein run
# or with explicit overrides:
PORT=5000 OUTPUT_DIR=/tmp/my-scores lein run

Lilypond Rendering

If you want to generate and render a score using Lilypond, run:

user> (require '[smug.music :refer :all])
user> (require '[smug.render.lilypond :refer :all])
user> (-> (generate-score 64)
          (render-svg-to "/tmp/foo"))
; returns the rendered files:
; (#object[java.io.File 0x13d6912f "/tmp/foo-page-1.svg"] #object[java.io.File 0x7def9c5b "/tmp/foo-page-2.svg"])

This requires the lilypond executable to be on your PATH, and the given path to be writable. Note that the path /tmp/foo results in /tmp/foo.svg, or possibly paged paths (/tmp/foo-page-1.svg, /tmp/foo-page-2.svg, ...) when the score doesn't fit in a single page.

You can also get the intermediate Lilypond markup by using render-as-lilypond:

user> (-> (generate-score 64)
          render-as-lilypond)
; returns the markup as a string:
"\n\\header {\n  title = \"Sight Reading Exercise\"\n  tagline = \"Generated by SMUG\"\n}\n{\n  c'2 d'2 \\\n  c'2 d'2 \\bar \"|\" c'2 e'2 \\bar \"|\" d'2 c'2 \\bar \"|\" c'2 d'2 \\bar \"|\" c'2 d'2 ..."

Abc4j Rendering

If you want to generate and render a score using abc4j and Swing, run:

user> (require '[smug.music :refer :all])
user> (require '[smug.render.abc4j :refer :all])
user> (-> (generate-score 64)
          create-score-component
          render-in-window)
; a Java Swing window should appear
