Here you find features that help you manipulating your whole score's properties.
You can use the Document Wizard to quickly set up your score. The Document Wizard is based on Velocity templates and BeanShell macros, so you can easily include it in your own templates.
You can use the document wizard for your own templates. You just have to make a Velocity template according to the documentation of the Templates plugin, and include the line
#parse
( "lilytool/templates/documentWizard.bsh" )Then you can start your template (including the document wizard) by clicking you template's name in the Templates Tree.
Here is a very simple custom template as an example:
#parse ( "lilytool/templates/documentWizard.bsh" )
\header { title = "$titlingMap.title" } \score
{ \notes { \key $signMap.key \time
$signMap.timeFraction } }This simple template just puts the title, the key signature and the time signature together. For your own templates you can use the variables that are set in the document wizard. Most variables are grouped into maps, according to the screens of the wizard, where the user can set them. In the following table you can see variables you can use in your templates.

Users are encouraged to use LilyPondTool as a framework for
their own templates and macros. One example of this is creating your
own templates using the Document Wizard. But you can find many
useful things in the
>
menu and in the lilytool package. Browse the
LilyPondTool javadoc for some
ideas. If you have some macros or templates or some other feature
you would like to see in the next release of LilyPondTool, send it
to using our project
page.
This command will insert a tempo marking as a markup string at the cursor position. For example you would like to make a tempo indication like this:
Choose >, and fill the dialog box with the following values, then press OK.
