In adiutorium

music for Roman Catholic Divine Office (Liturgy of the Hours) in Czech language.

Liturgical music, mostly plainchant, engraved with LilyPond. Some pieces are arranged as booklets or books typeset using LaTeX. For further information see project homepage http://www.inadiutorium.cz (Czech only, with summary in English)

Liturgical texts are property of Czech bishops' conference.

Building

  • .ly files in the root directory and in it's subdirectories commune and sanktoral are mostly standalone sheets and are to be built simply running LilyPond over them
  • .ly files in other directories are included in other ones and shouldn't be compiled themselves
  • you can build all sheets at once by running rake build in the root directory
  • in directory antifonar volumes of the Czech antiphonal may be compiled by running rake tasks (run rake -T to see what is available)
  • in directory sesity run rake to compile all the booklets at once or rake -T to see how to build them one by one

The lilypond sheets often contain the author's personal notes concerning future development. To hide them, compile the .ly files with point-and-click disabled:

lilypond -dno-point-and-click FILE.ly

If you are using Frescobaldi, there is the LilyPond > Engrave (publish) menu item for this.

LilyPond version

LilyPond 2.24.x is currently being used in development.
