I would be interested in any small example of how to integrate Lilypond as well (I've used lilypond - but only either through the OpenOffice extension, creating a clip to be integrated into a document, or else using Lilypond to create the entire document.) Being able to integrate into Tex isn't something I've had time to figure out.
Although I'm sure there's a better way, I similarly tend to you a Python script to mark up my text files I create, expanding a few reduced characters into gregorio commands, references, drop caps, etc. I'd also love to learn more about using a makefile. I've never been on the creating end of one yet - and it seems very handy. -Michael > Message: 4 > Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2013 17:41:16 -0500 > From: "Henry So Jr." <[email protected]> > To: Innocent Smith <[email protected]> > Cc: Gregorio Users <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Gregorio-users] Made with Gregorio > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > LaTeX by itself is definitely viable.
