Fomus

FOMUS currently creates notation files for lilypond versions 2.4 and 2.6. the output setting keyword to use is :lilypond. Fomus outputs a slightly different file depending on whether lilypond version 2.4 or 2.6 is installed to insure that it compiles correctly (a file for one version may give an error when compiled in the other version). A .ly extension is added to the base filename to make the complete output filename. When fomus loads it looks for lilypond and viewer application executables in several locations in the filesystem. If these executables are in an uncommon location or the user wants to specify these herself, several options exist for setting the pathnames and changing command line arguments. When setup correctly, fomus can automatically compile the output file and launch a viewer (a postscript viewing application in gnome or kde or the preview application in os x).

tremolos might be represented by displaying slash marks (like in the musicxml :xml-1note-tremolo-kludge and :xml-multinote-tremolo-kludge options) in rare cases where they can't be indicated properly.
