Lilycompile

Compile .ly files and view the output - directly within atom.

Comes with one configurable command, lilycompile:compile (ctrl-alt-l), which only triggers in .ly files. Needs the AtLilyPond package to recognize .ly files by their grammar.

To open pdf files in atom, you need to install a pdf viewer package. Or you can change the output to png, which atom can handle by default.

This is only intended to generate previews, not to automate building processes.

Code structure and features borrowed from and inspired by the atom-latex package.
