What is it?

The Obsidian Lilypond Plugin has a simple function, that is, allow rendering lilypond in Obsidian! 🎵

Setting up

Ensure you have Lilypond installed. There is an option in the settings called "Lilypond Path". This must be set to the lilypond executable. The default path for Linux is /usr/bin/lilypond, the default path for Windows is C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe.

How to use

Write a code-block in your markdown files like so:

```lily
    \score{
        \relative c' {a}
        \layout {}
    }
```

The plugin allows for any kind of lilypond code to be used at this point in time.
