christmas-2016

Christmas Gifts (of sheet music) for 2016.

This is a collection of songs given to the family members of the Mr. Beany's Bitty Band for Christmas in 2016. It is composed, exclusively, of new lyrics to established public domain songs.

Mr. Beany's Bitty Band released a free Christmas 2016 album which features instrumental versions of the songs contained in this songbook.

This would not be possible without Benjamin Bloomfield's Christmas Carols Collection available at https://github.com/bbloomf/christmas-carols

These songs were written for Christmas 2016. If you can do better, fork it from https://github.com/mrbeany/christmas-2016

Compiling

You will need LilyPond to compile the source, .ly files in to PDF. It is the only dependency.

To compile the songbook, go to the "book" directory and type:

lilypond christmas-2016.ly

MIDI files are currently deactivated in each of the song Lilypond files, so there should be nothing produced other than christmas-2016.pdf.

Compiling an individual song

To compile an individual song, go to the "songs" directory and type:

lilypond some-song.ly

The MIDI is currently commented out, so if you want that, you'll want to re-enable it. Just look for the \midi line in the file and remove the leading %.
