Hi Karl, thanks for your reply. I put some comments between inline:
> Theese: > print-book-with-defaults-as-systems > print-book-with-defaults > collect-music-for-book > collect-scores-for-book > are defined in scm/lily-library.scm, take a look there. I did a few more hops through the code. But not so successful. I was more after some enlightment what these functions are intended for. My guess is now: They collect all scores in the document and produce output for them. I need only one score per document and hope for a limited amount of magic in the background. But without, the cropping does not happen. >> #(ly:set-option 'backend 'eps) % what if I want svg? > > Can't you convert your intermediary eps's or final ps/pdf's to svg ? > Inkscape claims to be able to do that: Well, yes. But I want it to be scriptable and as few as possible tools and steps required. > Why don't you include the ly/lilypond-book-preamble.ly verbatim in > some test ly file of yours... I did that and should have posted the error: /home/joram/Technik/sw/ly/lilypond/compiled/share/lilypond/2.19.22/scm/lily-library.scm:259:5: In procedure module-lookup in expression (process-procedure book paper ...): /home/joram/Technik/sw/ly/lilypond/compiled/share/lilypond/2.19.22/scm/lily-library.scm:259:5: unbound variable: output-classic-framework Not knowing scheme, I didn't know what the error is telling me. > Doing that I find that scm/framework-svg.scm is missing the > output-classic-framework procedure which the other framework-*.scm > have. Perhaps adding that will solve your problem. To me it looks like I would have to invent quite a lot of other functions like dump-stencils-as-SVGs etc. That's beyond my abilities I guess. My summary: I still see no path towards an SVG output of snippets.
