Rattling Bog. In Lilypond.
|
||
|
|
========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, there is this cummulative song: [The rattling
|
||
|
|
bog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rattlin'_Bog) (performance e.g.
|
||
|
|
[here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QO8bWGNPyo)). I was recently helping
|
||
|
|
someone with Lilypond, which I know can be scripted using Scheme (or Guile).
|
||
|
|
So, naturally, it is a nice exercise in Scheme to implement this song in
|
||
|
|
Lilypond itself, isn't it…
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I do not know much about Scheme yet, so let me fix it :-)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Disclaimer:** It is probably much better idea to generate the Lilypond source
|
||
|
|
from another language and just use Lilypond to compile. But that is not as much fun :-)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The aim is to have as good as possible result (both PDF and MIDI), and hopefully reasonable code.
