lilypond-book download

Re: lilypond-book download
Thanks! I'm having trouble understanding something. In Item 4 of "GNU Lilypond – Application Usage", under the heading "Integrating Text and Music", it explicitly says this "lilypond-book provides a way to automate this process: This program extracts snippets of music from your document, runs lilypond on them, and outputs the document with pictures substituted for the music." According to this, LilypondBook is a "program". I'm new to command-line usage, so that might be why this confuses me. Is it not a stadalone program? I wish the Lilypond site had complete examples to study from, rather than just specific examples meant to be understood only by experienced command-line users who would know where to apply them. I have TeXMaker, TeXWorks, TeXLive, eMacs, GNUTeXmacs, have tried to get a pdf file with text and music from all of them without success. I've no idea, for instance, how to make TeXMaker understand a Lilypond command; or what program to use TexXInfo on, or even whether TeXInfo is itself a program. Could you tell me whether there are complete examples somewhere which I could study from? Thanks again! Reinhold Kainhofer wrote: > > Am Dienstag, 30. August 2011, 16:01:01 schrieb Dmytro O.

Re: lilypond-book download
Thank you very much for that tip. Following your advice, I've installed Lyx in my Ubuntu. In the included documentation, I've found only one reference to Lilypond (to use Insert>File>External Material>Lilypond file). When I do this (ie, insert a .ly file) all I get is a field saying "Lilypond typeset music". Then, when I do Insert>Custom Insets>Lilypond, I get an inset where I can type in lilypond code. BUT I haven't been able to see the actual music, nor to export the LyX file as a pdf. If it's not asking too much, how do you do that? I'm most grateful to you and of course to the LyX people. I'm about to end a two-year search (from zero) for a program that lets me do just that. bart.deruyter wrote: > > I had the same 'problem'.. It is indeed not that easy.

ubuntu lyx lilypond latex
I need some basic help will lilypond-latex installation. I want to use Ubuntu exclusively to write a musicological book with lilypond+LyX. To get rid of some rubbish that was stalling my system, I reinstalled Ubuntu from zero; then I installed LyX and "A decent selection of the TeX Live packages". I also have lilypond in my usr/bin. In LyX, when I go to Document>Settings>Modules and try to insert the lilypond-book module, I get a message saying: "Package not available: The module lilypond requires a package that is not available in your LaTeX installation, or a converter that you have not installed. (...) Missing prerequisites: lilypond-book->latex." What do I have to install now? Where do I get it?

Re: ubuntu lyx lilypond latex
Thanks. I'm a newcomer to command-line. I've tried emacs and other editors, but LyX is closer to the way I'm used to doing things. I may end up doing just what you recommend, but for the moment I'd just like to know what a "lilypond book latex package" IS and how to get it. I'm lost.

Re: ubuntu lyx lilypond latex
I have v2.0.0. From what you've said in response to my query, I gather that v2.0.1 already has a lilypond-book latex package. If that's not so, do you know where I can find it? Thanks!

Re: ubuntu lyx lilypond latex
Thank you! I've got it running now! There's only a little snag, though. Some times, the preview doesn't work; it just shows the code in the default document font (not the code font). However, all I have to do is select Tools>Reconfigure again and restart. It's not much bother, and I wouldn't have mention it if you hadn't asked for feedback some time ago. Thanks again!

Re: ubuntu lyx lilypond latex
I have some further feedback to give you. Indeed, there's no need to reconfigure, as you've said. However, I notice this: Each time I open a document with lilypond code in it which has previously previewed well, I get the code in document font. There's nothing wrong with the code, since it worked previously AND can outputs correctly as PDF. But if I then change something -- e.g. pressing ENTER at the end, or by adding a blank space there, or by flattening a note, &c -- the code previews correctly. If I then change it back to what it was before, the preview doesn't work again. Now, if I SAVE the file with the code that previews correctly, then open it again, the previews don't work again, so I have to make new changes to make it work. So the gist seems to be this: whatever is in the file, or whatever is some background memory does not preview. Only new changes preview. Now here's something interesting: If I just open a file with code and wait for the preview, I get the code in document font. HOWEVER, if I open the same file and immediately Alt-Tab into another program previously opened (such as Firefox, &c) and THEN Alt-Tab back to Lyx, the previews come up instantly and perfectly. I have absolutely no idea why all of this consistently happen, but I hope this feedback is useful. Julien Rioux-2 wrote: > > On 13/09/2011 10:38 PM, Pablo Zumarán wrote: >> >> Thank you!
