What is OpenLilyLib?
openLilyLib/snippets is a repository of reusable LilyPond code snippets, including custom functions, engravers, templates, and examples. It provides an organized, version-controlled collection of code that LilyPond users can directly include in their music scores, eliminating the need to manually copy and paste snippets from other sources.
