Yes, but then the .ly would be editable from within Scribus, so you only have to import a .ly , or enter it from scratch. If that's possible I'm up for a share of the cost. That would be cool. It would be significant amount of work, since I'd have to get familiar with Scribus and its plugin interface. I'd guess that this would be 1000 eur or 2000 eur, in order of magnitude.

I've been using Lilypond with jEdit for about 2 months now for arranging instrumental parts. The only challenge has been learning some of the syntax but I can't complain. You have done a wonderful job with this software. I'd be interested in helping to support getting this Scribus feature up and running. Also, are there any user groups in the Eastern U.S. or parties interested in perhaps a workshop?

Let's see if we can create an interest in this. I think this would be a valuable addition to LilyPond. Anybody willing to co-sponsor? Why not ask the Scribus developpers wether they are interested... It would be a feature no other DTP-software has... ;-) Marc ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

If it is just a matter of updating the pdf once you have edited the .ly file, Scribus has a feature where you can select your pdf image and there is an Update feature. I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect you could just do your editing, create your pdf, go over to Scribus and Update your image. Yes, but you have to work with multiple files, and multiple applications. That gets tiresome and errorprone if you have many (over 40) fragments. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Maybe I'm living in blissful ignorance of the problems that are ahead of me. The project I'm working on will have well over a hundred fragments.

Scribus - alternative to lilybook?
I haven't seen anything on this list about Scribus, a linux-based desktop publishing program. I have been playing with it and it has some interesting features. Basically, you define your page size with borders and then create text or image boxes for your input. You can import lilypond pdf images directly into your image box. You can then put transparent text boxes on top of your image allowing you to do anykind of markup anywhere. I wouldn't recommend it for a an ordinary sheet of music, but I think it adds some interesting possibilites. I am trying to learn how to use it and how to use Lilypond at the same time as I'm working on a liturgy, so it's making for some long -- but fun -- days.

I think Scribus has a python interface, so you could write a little plugin that takes .ly code, runs it through lily, and pasts back the resulting PDF files. That would actually be pretty neat...
