But when I look at the code in OOoLilyPond/LilyPond.xba <https://github.com/OOoLilyPond/OOoLilyPond/blob/master/extension/OOoLilyPond/LilyPond.xba> I see that 1. There is a way to check the LilyPond version 2. The code already modifies include statements to add an appropriate path 3. The code builds the command used to call lilypond Given these three things it seems that OOoLilyPond can modify its treatment of both include files and the lilypond command to account for different versions of LilyPond. Whether it should have to or not is open for discussion. Thanks, Carl > >
