Thank you very much for your very precise answer. So now it works like a charm. I used your script with a few changes :
------------------ #!/bin/bash CURRENT_DIR=$(pwd) includespec="" for i in $CURRENT_DIR/lilypond/* ; do if [[ -d $i ]] ; then includespec="$includespec --include=$i/" fi done lilypond-book $includespec --output=tmp --pdf $1 ------------------ Strange as it seems, the quotes around the directory names did hurt, your script didn't work until I took them off. But now it is perfect, and I can work with lilypond-book with my splitted files, the same way I was doing with lilypond. Thank you very much for your help ! PS: I think the above script should be mentionned in the documentation, I've spent many hours to make this works and I wouldn't have managed without the help of the community. 2013/1/8 Olivier Biot <olivier.b...@gmail.com> > On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 5:50 PM, Cognac Natanael <natanael.cog...@gmail.com > > wrote: > >> Thank you very much for your answer Olivier, >> >> There is no spaces or fancy character in my directories or files names. >> > > Okay, so you don't need to use quotes around the directory names (not that > it hurts having them). > > And I think I’ve tried l’option that you've mentionned, and I tried with >> the option you’ve mentionned : >> lilypond-book --include=my-lilypond-repertory/ >> > > Exactly.
