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.

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.
A tool to generate human-readable trees of dependencies of a FreeBSD port.
pytoport provides a way to quickly generate the barebones of a Python package
by simply providing the name of the module to the command. It accesses the
PyPI JSON API and does its best to generate a fully functional Makefile and
distinfo where sources are found.
