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.
Possible features
----
- [ ] Melody for chorus and common stuff
- [ ] Correct number of syllables for the items
- [ ] Correct prepositions (_in_ a hole vs. _on_ a branch)
- [ ] Reasonable MIDI output
- [ ] Speeding up in later verses
