LiveLily Workshop

Drymonitis Alexandros

LiveLily is a workshop on the software with the same name. This is a Live Sequencing and Live Scoring software through live coding with a subset of the Lilypond language. Lilypond is a language for sheet music engraving. With LiveLily the user can create music scores in real time, and a sequencer based on these score.

The LiveLily sequencer can be as expressive as a Western notation music score can, capable of transferring dynamics, articulation and arbitrary information to the instruments it controls. Being a hybrid system, combining Live Scoring and Live Sequencing, LiveLily can be used for both Live Scoring with acoustic instruments, and Live Sequencing electronic music, or even a combination of these two.
