- This folder should hold the code to use the lilyJAZZ fonts/settings.

- As the original developer Torsten Hämmerle seems to be unavailable
3
- we decided to offer this space to access and improve the great
4
- LilyPond add-on.
1
+ ## LilyJAZZ
2
+
3
+ In March 2013 Torsten Hämmerle sent a wonderful LilyPond add-on to the
4
+ lilypond-user mailing list: ** LilyJAZZ** . Read his original announcement in [ this
5
+ message] ( http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-03/msg00647.html ) .
6
+ LilyJAZZ offers a JAZZ Music and a JAZZ Text font along with tools to
7
+ integrate them in LilyPond.

+ #### Disclaimer:
10
+ The licensing status of this material isn't completely clear. The original developer
11
+ isn't available and can't be contacted through email or phone anymore.
12
+ Therefore we can only rely on his original post where he states that
13
+
14
+ > the whole LilyJAZZ issue shall be open and free (just like Lilypond), so I first
15
+ had to create my own fonts in order to become independent of commercial ones.
16
+
17
+ We consider this as a release under the same licensing model as LilyPond (i.e. GPL).
18
+ "shall be" is surely not meant as a temporal expression but as an expression of intent
19
+ (it is probably inexactly translated from the German "soll sein", not from "wird sein").
20
+ Torsten surely meant that having created the fonts was the prerequisite for being
21
+ able to release it under a free license, and not that making the material available
22
+ in that message was the prerequisite to release it "open and free" at some undetermined
23
+ point in future.
24
