=============================================
 # lilyjazz: LilyJazz font package for lilypond

This package provides the LilyJazz open-source font for lilypond.

Original code by Torsten Hämmerle and Abraham Lee. For more information on producing Jazz lead sheets with Lilypond, checkout Abraham's [blog post](http://leighverlag.blogspot.fr/2015/12/mimicking-real-book-look.html).

## Installation

Install using [lyp](https://github.com/noteflakes/lyp):

```bash
$ lyp install lilyjazz
```

## Usage

```lilypond
\require "lilyjazz"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score \jazzOn
  }
}

\markup { \override #'(font-name . "LilyJAZZ Text") "Some markup" }

```

For more details see the included [example](https://github.com/noteflakes/lyp-lilyjazz/blob/master/test/test.ly).

Another example is a "real book" style setting of ["All Of Me"](https://github.com/noteflakes/lyp-lilyjazz/blob/master/test/allofme.ly).

## Compatibility with Lilypond versions

This font is known to work in Lilypond version 2.18.2 or later.

Just for completeness sake, where do we fine the LilyJazz package?

Hi,

I use the LilyJazz package (lilyjazz.ily, jazzchords.ily, and jazzextras.ily) to prepare lead sheets.

These packages have to be upgraded with convert.ly before using them - and the fonts copied into Lilypond's font folder.

Normally these packages survive the upgrade or throw errors if they haven't. 2.25.11 compilations proceed without error but don't result in any "jazz style" formatting unless they are converted.
