Hello,
Putting together an exercise book using XeLaTeX and the lilypond environment.
Everything works relatively well until I try to use an include file with
variable definitions.
MWE:
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
% !TEX TS-program = LilyPond-Book
% !LILYPOND tex = xelatex
\documentclass{memoir}
% \newcommand{\Ggrace}{\grace { g''32 }}
\begin{document}
\begin{lilypond}
{
\include "lilypond-variables.ly"
\time 2/4
\grace { g''32 } g'4 \Ggrace a'4 \Ggrace b'4 \Ggrace c''4
\Ggrace d''4 \Ggrace e''4 \Ggrace f''4 g''4
a''2 g''4 f''4 \Ggrace e''4
\Ggrace d''4 \Ggrace c''4 \Ggrace b'4 \Ggrace a'4
\Ggrace g'4
\bar "||"
}
\end{lilypond}
\end{document}
LILYPOND-VARIABLES.LY:
Ggrace = { \grace { g''32 } }
The in-line g grace note is typeset just fine. The variable references,
however, either choke, or (if I trash files after choking) are not expanded
upon typesetting.
(I had originally tried to do this with a *tex include file with \newcommands,
but that did not work either.)
The code below works fine in Frescobaldi:
\include "lilypond-variables.ly"
{
\time 2/4
\grace { g''32 } g'4 \Ggrace a'4 \Ggrace b'4 \Ggrace c''4
\Ggrace d''4 \Ggrace e''4 \Ggrace f''4 g''4
a''2 g''4 f''4 \Ggrace e''4
\Ggrace d''4 \Ggrace c''4 \Ggrace b'4 \Ggrace a'4
\Ggrace g'4
\bar "||"
}
So I’m assuming there’s a trick to the placement/invocation of the include file
which I’m not privy to…? Using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 (16F73) and TL 2016;
LilyPond-Book engine 2.0.4 (2014/03/23).
Thanks!
