Collection of easy pieces for the Violoncello

  • easy grade.
  • in first position.
  • only first voice

since the title numbering of the Cello pieces is changing while the collection is growing, the file.ly number might defer from the piece-number that is printed within the score.


While this collection is on growing, it is only providing the single pieces as lilypond *.ly files.
PDF and MIDI files are going to be added within the finalization of the collection to prevent a boost of the .git repository.
If you want to get PDF files beforehand you need to install lilypond and compile the *.ly files.

Here is a short description for a LINUX System from the Command-Line

# install lilypond from your repository
# using apt or your apropriate package manager

apt update
apt install lilypond

# compile input file with lilypond

lilypond filename.ly 

# to batch compile all files in a folder
# simply run this for-loop from the command-line

for i in *.ly; do lilypond $i;done

If you want to get MIDI files, you need to add a \midi {} blog behind the \layout blog
within the \score blog like this:

The same applies for MIDI files.
The \midi {} blog is now added to the input files.
The midi-instrument is set to Cello

For MIDI playback on a linux system you could use timidity among many others.

timidity {01..15}*.midi

would start a playback of all 15 pieces.
