LILYCHANT - ORTHODOX MUSIC SOFTWARE
Welcome to the
music section of our website. Here you will find the
Lilychant software. Lilychant is a front end for the popular Open
Source Lilypond music score creation system. Lilychant is designed to
allow the easy creation of musical scores for Orthodox chants. It is
particularly effective when you have a number of different sets of
words that all need to be set to the same music. Thus, once you have
defined the musical pattern for one of the
Troparion/Stikeron/Prokimenon or Canon melodies you can quickly set any
new set of words and produce a full musical score in Lilypond format.
From the Lilypond file you can then create pdf and midi files as
required. These pages also contain a selection of melody pattern files
for traditional Russian Obikhod and Kievan tones.
