I am experimenting with the \epsfile command to include various
pictures in my score.
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/graphic.en.html
describes:
\epsfile axis (number) size (number) file-name (string)
Inline an EPS image. The image is scaled along axis to size.
I don't quite understand what "axis (number)" means and how it works.
I can reproduce the examples, using my own images, but would like to
understand the values better.
size gives the height *or* width of the image, depending on axis which
should be set to #X (for height) or #Y.
X and Y are speaking variable names for the numbers 0 and 1 (which you
can verify through
#(display Y)
), hence the docstring.
Related issue: When using frescobaldi the syntax help and
autocompletion balloon gives "\eps-file" instead of "\epsfile". A
little bug?
Seems so, yes. IIUC it has been \epsfile for at least a very long time
(f. e. version 2.7.30) if not ever so Frescobaldi is wrong here.
... which is of course possible but somehow surprising. AFAIK
Frescobaldi's "knowledge" about LilyPond's syntax is retrieved
automatically, although I don't recall whether that involves parsing the
documentation or running LilyPond itself.
What *is* known is that Frescobaldi's autocompletion works on the 2.18
syntax because it's official policy to support the "latest stable
release". We have agreed upon the idea that it would be better to
support both the current stable and development releases but so far
noone has found the time to implement that.
It should not be *that* complicated, so any volunteers are encouraged to
step forward ;-)
