DESCRIPTION
This distribution contains various command line utilities related to music composition and analysis, brief examples of which are shown in the "SYNOPSIS", above. Run perldoc on the command name for additional documentation on how to use each tool, as several of the programs have many, many more options than shown here.
The zsh-compdef directory of this distribution includes ZSH completion scripts for the command line utilities. Install these files to a ZSH $fpath directory, and follow the ZSH documentation on setting up tab completion.
BUGS
Probably lots. Send patches, as there are probably lots between my bad Perl and badder understanding of music theory.

ly-fuexpects that a MIDI player and PDF viewer are available on the system. Environment variables will likely need to be set or the source code tweaked as necessary."The Structure of Atonal Music" by Allen Forte (ISBN 978-0-300-02120-2).
