Re: lilypond-user Digest, Vol 174, Issue 51
If your MusicXML contains a literal copyright character, it's invalid XML. Find-and-replace that to or change it into (c) and you'll be good to go. I've had to do that with XML output from MuseSore.

Re: can we pass in header variables as CLI parameters?
Huge thanks to Timothy Lanfear! That solution works perfectly.
I can pass multiple parameters in like this:
lilypond -e '(define-public title "my song")(define-public
copyrightyear "2017")(define-public ismn "12345-678-90-5")' tmp.ly
and then my header looks like:
\header {
copyrightyear = \copyrightyear
title = \title
ismn = \ismn
}
It only works if the Guile module is added...
#(use-modules (guile-user))
Cheers!
Ian

can we pass in header variables as CLI parameters?
Hi, sorry if this has been asked before... Is it possible to pass in header variables in via the CLI? For example, I would like to pass the copyright date in via a parameter, instead of it being saved in the .LY file. This can be done in LaTeX, so I hope there is a way to do something similar in lilypond.

Re: \footnote does nothing? :(
Simon: as you predicted, making the minimal example helped to isolate the problem and expose the solution. For posterity, my mistake was that I was trying to apply the footnote to a chord, instead of to a note within the chord. Thanks!

More precisely, you need to have a go at producing a minimal example (see <http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html>), so anybody helping you out won't have to filter out irrelevant parts himself. Just try deleting (or commenting out) parts of the project and see if the problem persists. If nothing can be removed, you've found a minimal example - or you'll find the error on the way, that happens fairly often.

\footnote does nothing? :(
I've inserted a \footnote into my score, but it doesn't do anything. Just wondering where I might look for problems. I'm fairly new to Lilypond. The LY source is in a private git repo but I can share it somewhere public if anyone is willing to take a diagnostic look at it.
