It just uses a completely different layout approach - you don't use document classes but define your layout yourself. Most features that are in usual LaTeX packages are in ConTeXt's core, and some more in additional modules. So the interface is much more coherent. But of course ConTeXt is a moving target (at least WRT newest features) and lacks printed documentation. At the moment the big move to LuaTeX binds most of the core developers' time. > The main strength of using a system like LaTeX compared to a DTP > software is that one can write scripts to manage the whole creation > process.

You can also control ID or QXP with scripts, there are several possibilities, on OSX I use Python with the appscript module (Apple Events) to remote control ID; on WinXP I used Python with win32com (COM API); for an other workflow I create text files with ID tags or XML files and import those into ID. You can do similar stuff with QXP (XPress tags, perhaps also XML). Sorry, it gets more and more OT here... ;-) > Do you know if there is a way to get PDF/X3-compatible files out of > ConTeXt? With LaTeX, I didn´t manage this. [PDF/X3 is a standard for > PDF files needed in pre-press.] We should discuss such on TeX-D-L or NTG-Context. AFAIK that's not a (mis)feature of LaTeX or ConTeXt, but of pdfTeX. You can convert a TeX PDF into PDF/X with Acrobat Pro, though. Perhaps it's possible to include the ICC profiles and additional information with some pdfTeX primitives, but AFAIK nobody yet managed to create a standards compliant PDF/X-3 yet. In fact, you seldom need one, because songbooks are normally black&white... Greetlings, Hraban ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I have interest to know your system. I've been using Lilypond-book for a while to create books with music examples. Maybe your system may ease my life...

Looking at your homepage I see that you're "much more professional" WRT music publishing than me. ;-) I don't know what your system is able to do, but I find ConTeXt's LilyPond bridge more comfortable than lilypond-book: I simply use ConTeXt's project structure: each song is one "component" file, each songbook is one "product" file, collected in a "project" and fed by one "environment" (LaTeX: style class) for all. A component can be used by several products (similar to LaTeX's \include). The lilypond code is just embedded as a block in the text files, like e.g. MetaPost graphics. In LaTeX you'd call that an environment. ConTeXt's "texexec" script calls TeX, LilyPond, GhostScript and what else is needed. It also tracks which LilyPond snippet has changed and must get re-rendered. Hm, perhaps I should try a database backend for storing my songs... need one for my new website anyway... ;-) Greetlings from Lake Constance --- fiëé visuëlle Henning Hraban Ramm http://www.fiee.net http://angerweit.tikon.ch/lieder/ https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer) ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Professional LilyPond users?
I'm just wondering (out of simple curiosity) if there are individuals in this forum or elsewhere who are using LilyPond to engrave commercial projects. I'm new to LilyPond but thus far I like what I see. I have entertained the thought of offering LilyPond engraving as a service (after I become much more proficient with it) sometime in the future and wonder if there is anyone currently using this wonderful software in a commercial capacity.
