GNU LilyPond
GNU LilyPond is a free software music typesetting package. It uses a simple ASCII notation for music, which is then compiled into TeX with embedded PostScript. The PostScript output can then be used to produce printable files or images.It is anticipated that GNU LilyPond support will be added to Wikipedia in the future, to allow inline generation of musical scores and other musical notation within Wikipedia.
