Python toolkit for music theory

[kcrisman]

Possibly of interest to some people on these lists - I'd love to see Sage or Jupyter notebooks using this:

Installing music21 is trivial -- just use "pip install music21". I
tried with SMC:

https://cloud.sagemath.com/projects/4a5f0542-5873-4eed-a85c-a18c706e8bcd/files/support/2015-12-08-141248-music21.sagews

However, to display music, one would need a way to get a png or svg
image written to a file; it would then be easy to display it inline by
doing smc.file('filename.png').

Question: Is there a way to save one of the music formats to an image
file? How? What other software (something called lilypond?) has to
be installed?

It seems great. I'll first play with it...
Then, I'll possibly look tpput it in jupyter/sage
t.d.

lilypond uses TeX to create "engraved sheet music." So I'd imagine it would
create PDFs that could be converted to other formats.

From a cursory look it appears that music21 has good support for MusicXML so
that might be a way to interoperate between the pieces.

Sample (unencumbered) scores can be found in various formats at:
