I made a last attempt, with minimal files included, which look like this: playground/book.tex: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \include{out/lpb-file} \end{document}
playground/lpb-file.lytex: \lilypondfile{music.ly} playground/music.ly: \version "2.10.25" \relative c' { \clef treble a'2 gis4. gis8 gis4 a b2. c4 c b a2 gis c4 c8 c c2 c c4. c8 g4 a b2 c r4 b8 b b2 b4 cis4 d2. d4 c2. a4 gis4 a2 gis4 a1 } I have no preamble or anything in the lytex-file, because it is supposed to be included in the book.tex file. A run of lilypond-book --psfonts --output=out gives the following structure, with the relevant files given in full: playground/book.tex playground/lpb-file.lytex playground/music.ly playground/out: lily-05a48313a2-1.eps lily-05a48313a2-2.eps lily-05a48313a2-systems.tex: \includegraphics{lily-05a48313a2-1} \ifx\betweenLilyPondSystem \undefined \linebreak \else \betweenLilyPondSystem{1} \fi \includegraphics{lily-05a48313a2-2} % eof - 'eof' is Makefile marker; do not remove. lily-05a48313a2-systems.texi lily-05a48313a2.eps lily-05a48313a2.ly lily-05a48313a2.txt lpb-file.dep lpb-file.psfonts lpb-file.tex {% \parindent 0pt% \ifx\preLilyPondExample \undefined% \relax% \else% \preLilyPondExample% \fi% \def\lilypondbook{}% \input lily-05a48313a2-systems.tex% \ifx\postLilyPondExample \undefined% \relax% \else% \postLilyPondExample% \fi% } snippet-map.ly snippet-names Now, if all the includes and inputs are resolved, the book.tex file ends up looking like this, with irrelevant lines deleted: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} {% \includegraphics{lily-05a48313a2-1} \includegraphics{lily-05a48313a2-2} } \end{document} which means it's not strange that latex complains that: ! I can't find file `lily-05a48313a2-systems.tex'. <to be read again> \relax l.11 \relax % Please type another input file name: since what it SHOULD have been looking for, is out/lily-05a48313a2-systems.tex. Now, is this how it's supposed to be, or is there a way to work around this? As I said, I'm happy to keep all the output files in the main folder -- now it's become almost a matter of principle: I want to find out if I've overlooked something... eyolf -- C-3PO: R2 says that the chances of survival are 725 to 1.
