A Rust wrapper and types for GNU LilyPond.

lilypond-rs provides an API to ergonomically wrap LilyPond, and provide Rust types that resolve to LilyPond output. This is still a work in progress and is not stable as of yet.

Documentation:

• API Reference

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
lilypond = "0.1"

Because this library wraps LilyPond, the GNU LilyPond program must be installed before library usage.

After you install LilyPond, check to see if LilyPond is installed:

lilypond --version
GNU LilyPond 2.20.0

One of the major inspirations for this library is Abjad, and the goal is that eventually a similar compositional workflow can be achieved in Rust.
