2008/7/30 Hugo Ribeiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > How to find out the ps code, after drawing in Inkscape? You can save your drawing as PostScript file (under Inkscape), then open it with a text editor and copy the code. You will probably have to add a "scale" command (or modify its value if it's already there) though, since Inkscape makes much too large drawings for LilyPond standard output.

[untested] Has anyone tried to produce svg files within LilyPond, using the hack desribed on http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=334 ? Alternatively you may want to try the other way around : produce your graphic elements using Inkscape and then include them into your .ly file, either as \epsfile or by pasting the native ps code, as in http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=486 Cheers, Valentin ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

BTW, i haven't been able to open pdf's with scribus, i get some "not acceptable format" message. i'm using scribus 1.3.3.11 on linux. i'll keep on trying with inkscape, i'm obviously having some fonts-related problem. i should try the inkscape forum or mailing list. anyone lucky using inkscape with files generated by LP? best, lj ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi Matth, Isn´t scribus capable of including pdf files directly? In my opinion this would be the better way - if it´s possible.

Hi, I use scribus to write an essay containing a lot of little music examples (made with lily of course), the solution I found is, when you've got your .pdf output from lilypond, to "print in a file" to generate a .ps usable in scribus.

re: adding graphics with external program
Dear Luis, on linux, there is the program pdf-edit available. You can add there simple graphice. And as far as I know, You can export lilypond files to other graphic formats, like png. You can read it in the manual. But You can also add graphics with the markup command, at least eps-files. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
adding graphics with external program
dear list, i'm mostly finished with the lilypond part of my first LP project, but i need to add a few graphics with an external program (i gave up trying to use LP for this). i'm on linux and i tried both inkscape and scribus, but after fighting the whole weekend i really can't find a way. inkscape can't open the ps files. i can open the pdf's, but after editing and exporting, the fonts are all wrong. with scribus the problems are rather the opposite: it's the pdf's that i can't open, and i don't know why the ps files open but with some parts chopped. neither inkscape nor scribus can open the svg files. what are the rest of you using when you need to edit the graphics of a score generated by LP? i'm on linux, but i could eventually use a windows machine. any help would be greatly appreciated. best, lj ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
