This example demonstrates how to do modern transcription of Gregorian music. Gregorian music has no measure, no stems; it uses only half and quarter noteheads, and special marks, indicating rests of different length.

ancient-notation-template----modern-transcription-of-mensural-music.ly
When transcribing mensural music, an incipit at the beginning of the piece is useful to indicate the original key and tempo. While today musicians are used to bar lines in order to faster recognize rhythmic patterns, bar lines were not yet invented during the period of mensural music; in fact, the meter often changed after every few notes. As a compromise, bar lines are often printed between the staves rather than on the staves.

Instead of having a full staff for the melody and lyrics, you can place the lyrics between the piano staff (and omit the separate melody staff).

score-for-diatonic-accordion.ly
A template to write score for a diatonic accordion.
- There is a horizontal staff indicating if the accordion must be pushed (thick line) or pulled (thin line)
- There is a small rhytmic staff with lyrics that describes the bass buttons to press. The bar-lines are made of gridlines ( Gridlines, not a really satisfying solution, but the best I found)
- The tabulator staff for diatonic accordions shows the geographic position of the buttons and not (as for every other instrument) the pitch of the tones. The keys on the melody-side of the accordion are placed in three columns and about 12 rows. In the tabulator staff notation the - most outer column is described with notes between lines - most inner column is described with notes between lines with a cross as accidental - middle column is described with notes on a line, whereby the row in the middle is represented on the middle line in the staff.
Some words to transpose piano note to the diatonic accordion. —————————————————————————————– 1. Every diatonic accordion is built for some keys only. For example for the key of C-major and F-major. So it is important to transpose a piano melody to match one of these keys. Transpose the source code, not only the output because you need this code later on to translate it once more to the tabulator staff. This can be done with the command 'displayLilyMusic'.
2. You have to alternate the push and pull-direction of the accordion regularely. If the player has a too long part to pull the accordion gets broken. At the other hand some harmonies are only available in one direction (push or pull) Considering this decide which parts of the melody are the push-parts and whic the pull-parts.
3. For each pull- / or push-part translate the piano notes to the according tabulatur representation.
This snippet comes with a useful optional macro for the jEdit text editor.

single-staff-template-with-notes,-lyrics,-and-chords.ly

single-staff-template-with-notes-and-chords.ly
Want to prepare a lead sheet with a melody and chords? Look no further!
melody = \relative c' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 f4 e8[ c] d4 g | a2 ~ a2 | } harmonies = \chordmode { c4:m f:min7 g:maj c:aug d2:dim b:sus } \score { << \new ChordNames { \set chordChanges = ##t \harmonies } \new Staff \melody >> \layout{ } \midi { } }
single-staff-template-with-notes-and-lyrics.ly
This small template demonstrates a simple melody with lyrics. Cut and paste, add notes, then words for the lyrics. This example turns off automatic beaming, which is common for vocal parts. If you want to use automatic beaming, you'll have to change or comment out the relevant line.
melody = \relative c' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 a4 b c d } text = \lyricmode { Aaa Bee Cee Dee } \score{ << \new Voice = "one" { \autoBeamOff \melody } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text >> \layout { } \midi { } }
single-staff-template-with-only-notes.ly
This very simple template gives you a staff with notes, suitable for a solo instrument or a melodic fragment. Cut and paste this into a file, add notes, and you're finished!
melody = \relative c' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 a4 b c d } \score { \new Staff \melody \layout { } \midi {} }
string-quartet-template-simple.ly
This template demonstrates a simple string quartet. It also uses a \global section for time and key signatures
global= { \time 4/4 \key c \major } violinOne = \new Voice { \relative c''{ \set Staff.instrumentName = "Violin 1 " c2 d e1 \bar "|." }} violinTwo = \new Voice { \relative c''{ \set Staff.instrumentName = "Violin 2 " g2 f e1 \bar "|." }} viola = \new Voice { \relative c' { \set Staff.instrumentName = "Viola " \clef alto e2 d c1 \bar "|." }} cello = \new Voice { \relative c' { \set Staff.instrumentName = "Cello " \clef bass c2 b a1 \bar "|."}} \score { \new StaffGroup << \new Staff << \global \violinOne >> \new Staff << \global \violinTwo >> \new Staff << \global \viola >> \new Staff << \global \cello >> >> \layout { } \midi { } }
string-quartet-template-with-separate-parts.ly
The "String quartet template" snippet produces a nice string quartet, but what if you needed to print parts? This new template demonstrates how to use the \tag feature to easily split a piece into individual parts.
You need to split this template into separate files; the filenames are contained in comments at the beginning of each file. piece.ly contains all the music definitions. The other files – score.ly, vn1.ly, vn2.ly, vla.ly, and vlc.ly – produce the appropiate part.
Do not forget to remove specified comments when using separate files!

vocal-ensemble-template-with-automatic-piano-reduction.ly
This template adds an automatic piano reduction to the standard SATB vocal score demonstrated in "Vocal ensemble template". This demonstrates one of the strengths of LilyPond – you can use a music definition more than once. If you make any changes to the vocal notes (say, tenorMusic), then the changes will also apply to the piano reduction.

vocal-ensemble-template-with-lyrics-aligned-below-and-above-the-staves.ly
This template is basically the same as the simple "Vocal ensemble" template, with the exception that here all the lyrics lines are placed using alignAboveContext and alignBelowContext.

Here is a standard four-part SATB vocal score. With larger ensembles, it's often useful to include a section which is included in all parts. For example, the time signature and key signatures are almost always the same for all parts. Like in the "Hymn" template, the four voices are regrouped on only two staves.
global = { \key c \major \time 4/4 } sopMusic = \relative c'' { c4 c c8[( b)] c4 } sopWords = \lyricmode { hi hi hi hi } altoMusic = \relative c' { e4 f d e } altoWords =\lyricmode { ha ha ha ha } tenorMusic = \relative c' { g4 a f g } tenorWords = \lyricmode { hu hu hu hu } bassMusic = \relative c { c4 c g c } bassWords = \lyricmode { ho ho ho ho } \score { \new ChoirStaff << \new Lyrics = sopranos { s1 } \new Staff = women << \new Voice = "sopranos" { \voiceOne << \global \sopMusic >> } \new Voice = "altos" { \voiceTwo << \global \altoMusic >> } >> \new Lyrics = "altos" { s1 } \new Lyrics = "tenors" { s1 } \new Staff = men << \clef bass \new Voice = "tenors" { \voiceOne <<\global \tenorMusic >> } \new Voice = "basses" { \voiceTwo <<\global \bassMusic >> } >> \new Lyrics = basses { s1 } \context Lyrics = sopranos \lyricsto sopranos \sopWords \context Lyrics = altos \lyricsto altos \altoWords \context Lyrics = tenors \lyricsto tenors \tenorWords \context Lyrics = basses \lyricsto basses \bassWords >> \layout { \context { % a little smaller so lyrics % can be closer to the staff \Staff \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-3 . 3) } } }
