Is it possible to detect the command line options Lilypond was called

verbose header.


no, currently not. You could use -dno-verbose-header and then read the 
result with ly:get-option.

I assume that you're running windows; Lilypond is quite different from
the programs you're used to.  You write music as text; please read the
tutorial for an explanation of how to do this.

Book Page Breaks with version 2.4.6

[Art Hixson]

How do you make page breaks between \score sections of \book?  We know 
that \newPage is useless for this.


Many others have asked this but none of the answers seem to work for 
me.  The most logical idea was from Mat (I think):
  


\header{ piece = \\newpage Piece 2 }


But this TeX construction caused a blank page at the TOP! even though it was invoked in the second \score section.  Thereafter, the pages continued 
withoutbreak through the beginning of the second \score, but a totally blank page was issued AFTER the completion of that page.  
Likewise with successive \score sections, making quite a mess.  So Lilypond and TeX  are working against each other here.


Controlling paging is a common need and I think Lilypond should permit the user to put in arbitrary page breaks at any point in the score, 
independent of the notes, without an arcane hack.  But, at the moment I'll take the arcane hack, if any one has it!

Install and Running Windows Native 2.6.0

[Trent J]

Good Afternoon all,

I have just install the native Lilypond 2.6.0 and am currently having 
diffulty in accessing all the features of the program. First of all I 
discovered that installing the program in the usually Program Files 
directory causes problems later on because of the space in the folder names. 
I sorted this out by installing it in just c:\lilypond the drag drop feature 
works fine now.


But my problems come after trying to do anything besides the drag the file 
over to the lilypond icon and produce a PDF.


1: How do you run the convert-ly program? Ms-Dos shell recognises no 
program.

2: How do you change the default lilypad editor??
3: The VIM files also seem to be missing from this release.

There seems to be no Windows specific documentation so I have no idea how to 
get everything up and running.


Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. Someone contacted my a while ago about beefing up the figured bass mode 
in lilypond. I would still like this to happen but never received any 
contact back after answering their email.


Regards,

Trent

Maximum ghostscript input filesize? Adjustable parameter?

[Trevor Baca]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to introduce myself and then ask a question. My name's Trevor
Baca and I'm a composer working in Austin, Texas. I just started using
LilyPond for the very first time at the beginning of July, and I'm
already completelly blown away. I model notation algorithmically in
Mathematica and, for this reason, I've been working in SCORE for a
couple of years due to the availability of SCORE's cleartext .pmx
input format. But I can't even begin to express how much better
LilyPond's input format is! I wish I had discovered LilyPond about
three years ago ... And then there's the fact that Lily's output just
*looks* so good ...

And thank you, everybody, for the snippets in the snippet repository
and for the examples in the regression battery. Learning's been a
breeze because of the tons of examples and the fact that the docs read
great.

Anyway, I've run into my first problem. I run Lily on my file
(test.ly) and the parsing, rendering, and postscript output happen
just fine, and then ghostscript blows up. I should mention right away,
however, that Lily's been calling ghostscript perfectly on all of my
other files up to this point with no problems; the problem seems to be
not with the gs commandline parameters but with the *size* of the
input file.

Here's Lily's verbose output for the test file, all under Mac OS X with 2.6.0:
