The LydType package allows for typing in the Lydian alphabet in LaTeX documents, using relatively simple commands based on the Latin transcriptions of the various signs. It also includes some formatting commands designed to allow for easy formatting, as well as shorthands for symbols commonly used in transcriptions.

The lydtype-doc.tex file is the LaTeX version of the documentation which can be run as a testing ground for new users.
