Re: where (if anywhere) does lilypond look for locally shared, files?

[David Stocker]

I used to keep custom settings and commands in files in a discrete 
location (later, a synced Dropbox folder) and then symlink to them from 
the *.ly directory in the LilyPond installation directory. Then I could 
just \include them like anything else in the *.ly directory.

There used to be a little package called Link Shell Extension that would 
simulate this behavior on Windows XP / Vista / 7, but I don't know if 
that's even required anymore with BASH (and similar) on Windows.
