Vimvaldi is a program for efficient editing of musical scores in your terminal. The controls are keyboard-oriented and customized for Vim users. Features of the program include basic note sheet editing and LilyPond import/export. The program is written in Python with the use of the Curses library.


Running Vimvaldi

To install Vimvaldi, run pip install vimvaldi (make sure to have Python 3 installed). Then you can simply run vimvaldi from a terminal of your choice and you should be good to go!

xiaoxiae@thinkpad ~> cd vimvaldi/
xiaoxiae@thinkpad ~> pip install -r requirements.txt
