LilyPond source files for Johann Sebastian Bach's 15 Sinfonias.
LilyPond version 2.24.0 or higher. (Note: LilyPond is not always backwards-compatible. If you have a later version, be sure to run convert.ly
on all the files. All files were compiled with version 2.24.1.)
You can always go to my latest release here, or use Frescobaldi, or create the PDFs from the command line. It is assumed that lilypond
is in the PATH of your system.
cd
into your installation directory and type:
lilypond 15-sinfonias-book.ly
This should produce a PDF and fifteen MIDI files.
The PDF produced will have point-and-click info in it, which you may not want (it makes the file size much bigger). To avoid this use the -dno-point-and-click
command line option. This is explained in detail here.
There are also fifteen LilyPond files to create the sinfonias separately: sinfonia-no1-C-maj.ly
, sinfonia-no2-C-min.ly
, etc.
Many thanks to @phmcarty for his proofreading and, when the sources disagreed, investigating.
