Description

The Lilypond plugin is a musical delight for Obsidian users who enjoy writing music notation. With this plugin, you can render LilyPond code directly within your markdown files, allowing you to easily create and share sheet music. The plugin is simple to use, requiring only that you specify the path to the LilyPond executable in your settings. Once set up, simply enclose your LilyPond code in a code block, and the plugin will render it beautifully, complete with layout options. This plugin is perfect for musicians, composers, and music educators who want to incorporate musical notation into their Obsidian notes and documents.

    This is GREAT! I had only one issue: I can't seem to find the way to render the scores when exporting to pdf, or sharing with linkshare. They just won't appear on the output file.
