This is the PDQ LilyPond Stylesheet, a simple to use modern layout for scores and parts. The code is on GitHub, the documentation is available here.
The stylesheet uses non-standard fonts that need to be installed before PDQ can be used. In order to use the stylesheet do the following:
- Install the OpenLilyPondFont Beethoven from here. Make sure that your LilyPond installation can find the font files.
- Install the Yorkten font on your system.
- Clone the PDQ git repository.
Note: The PDQ stylesheet does not use a standard paper format by default.
In the most basic case you just include the pdq.ily file in your score:
\include "path/to/pdq.ily"The PDQ stylesheet can be customized through some options. Options need to be set before the pdq.ily file is loaded. For example to use the A4 paper size:
dinPaper = ##t
\include "path/to/pdq.ily"For a description of available options see the documentation.
The PDQ stylesheet uses custom page layouts and headers. It also adds support for additional fields that can be used in headers. See the documentation for a list of available fields.
The resulting PDQ can be further customized using Layouts. See the documentation for details.
Besides the PDQ layout this package also contains some utilities that might be useful when working with bigger projects. See the documentation for details.
