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.
