LilyPond is a music typesetter. It produces sheet music using a high-level description file, which is plain text, as input. You can use your favorite text editor to enter the description files. The font and the layout were inspired by engraved music, but can be modified. The program also has limited MIDI functionality: you can write MIDI files, and there is a MIDI to lilypond conversion tool, midi2ly. Conversion tools for PMX, MUP, ABC, Finale and Musedata are also included. Patrick Atamaniuk

The library "libotf" provides the following facilites: o Read Open Type Layout Tables from OTF file. Currently these tables are supported; head, name, cmap, GDEF, GSUB, and GPOS. o Convert a Unicode character sequence to a glyph code sequence by using the above tables. The combination of libotf and the FreeType library (Ver. 2) realizes CTL (complex text layout) by OpenType fonts.

This program reads /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite and compares install timestamp with date in $FreeBSD header in the Makefile of the port. If there is no $FreeBSD header then it is assumed to be a beta port. Chucky also features a shar file backup feature, which is normally used to backup 'beta' development ports.

This takes the FreeBSD port's index file and makes it into a easy to use hash.

This program provides for an alternate pkg upgrade procedure. Move /usr/local to /usr/old-local and /var/db/pkg to /var/db/old-pkg, then use pkg-compare to generate a list of packages to install.

The portless utility is a small shell script which lets FreeBSD users quickly browse port descriptions given the port's name or a glob. Basically to view the descriptions of GCC (related) ports you simply type portless gcc\* and it will display all descriptions of the gcc* ports. There are options to display the port's postinstall message or Makefile too. A manpage is included.
