Editing Adding a QR code

Starting with LilyPond 2.25.3, you can use the <code>\qr-code</code> markup command to insert a QR code, for example to provide a link to the composer's or the music editor's website.

<lilypond version="2.25.3">
\markup \qr-code #10 "https://lilypond.org"
</lilypond>

For older versions, you can use the following code.

<lilypond version="2.24">
#(define (index-map f . lsts)
"Applies @code{f} to corresponding elements of @code{lists}, just as @code{map},
providing an additional counter starting at zero.  @code{f} needs to have the
counter in its arguments like @code{(index-map (lambda (i arg) <body>) lists)}"
   (let loop ((lsts lsts)
              (acc '())
              (i 0))
     (if (any null? lsts)
         (reverse! acc)
         (loop (map cdr lsts)
               (cons (apply f i (map car lsts))
                     acc)
               (1+ i)))))

This code does not actually encode the URL into the QR code; you will have to provide a grid of "black" and "white" values instead of a URL. The following short Python snippet can be used to convert a URL to a grid:

<pre>
>>> import pyqrcode; print(pyqrcode.create("https://lilypond.org").text(quiet_zone=0))
</pre>

This requires the [https://pypi.org/project/PyQRCode/ pyqrcode module].
