Frescobaldi is an editor forLilyPond music files. It aims to be powerful, yet lightweight and easy to use. Frescobaldi isfree software, freely available under theGNU General Public License. It is designed to run on all majoroperating systems (Linux,macOS andMicrosoft Windows). It is named afterGirolamo Frescobaldi, an Italian composer ofkeyboard music in the lateRenaissance and earlyBaroque period.
Frescobaldi is written in Python and usesPyQt for its user interface. Its main developer is Wilbert Berendsen.
Frescobaldi has its roots in LilyKDE, aplugin for KDE'sKate text editor developed by Berendsen, originally released in 2007.[2] It later evolved into astandalone application and was renamed into Frescobaldi in 2008.
In 2011, Frescobaldi was rewritten from scratch, leading to Frescobaldi 2.0. The release removed the use ofKDE libraries in favor of the base PyQt library only. As a result, Frescobaldi becamecross-platform.
In 2015, thely module from the Frescobaldi code base was split into its own project,python-ly, which has since been used independently by other Python projects.[3]
Released in 2017, Frescobaldi 3.0 was a port of Frescobaldi 2 toPython 3 and Qt 5.
In LilyPond 2.24 (released in February 2023), the "LilyPad" editor that was previously shipped officially with LilyPond was discontinued.[4] Instead, the official installation tutorial for LilyPond 2.24 and later guides beginners towards Frescobaldi,[5] reflecting Frescobaldi's de facto status as the most popular LilyPond editor.
