It would probably be best if you could post a *small* example file showing what you want to do and how you are trying to do it. Richard Hello Richard, thank you for the fast answer. Since 6 years I write ab large book with 800 sites - now on Lyx. Of cause I did set the sites-, top- & bottom- margins. Wenn I input a Graphic, this margins render the visuable field now. I´m not a Latex - specialist, it means, I try out the possibilities of Lyx: Graphicinput, as Slideobject, click on the Graphic, scale it... but I can´t make it visible behind the borders of the margins. I have jpg - Graphics, which should rich over the hole A4 - site. May I shoult use a Latex - or Tex- command? So you want the graphic to cover the entire page, and not to be restricted to the margins? If so, then I am no graphics expert, but a quick look at Google suggests centering the graphic. Then it will not start at the left margin. If you want it to start above the top margin, though, that will not help. I am not sure how to do that. Richard PS Please keep replies on the list. That way other people can help as well.

So, first make sure that lilypond is actually availaible: try typing "lilypond" or "lilipond-book" at a promp. If nothing happens, reinstall lilypond Then, reconfigure LyX, quit, restart LyX, and try opening the lilypond help manual again. The error should be gone.

Re: umlaute in Lilypond Lyx file
Wolfgang, could you send a minimal example showing your problem? I tried compiling Lyx's help file on lilypond with xetex and libertine and it works fine. I even scattered a few umlaute at random with no problems. So it looks like there are no issues preventing lilypond to work with either system fonts and xetex.

I now realize lilypond is completely separate from TeX. pacman -S lilypond solved the issue (I'm on arch, not ubuntu) Everything works now.

Requirements for Lilypond?
I wanted to take a look at the recent issue concerning lilypond and umlauts, but I cannot even load the lilypond manual cleanly. The lilypond-book module complains that I am missing "lilypond-book-->Latex" So I guess I am missing a converter. But what are the converter's parameters? Obviously I know nothing about lilypond Cheers, Stefano -- __ Stefano Franchi Associate Research Professor Department of Hispanic Studies Ph: +1 (979) 845-2125 Texas A&M University Fax: +1 (979) 845-6421 College Station, Texas, USA stef...@tamu.edu http://stefano.cleinias.org

Guenter Milde, 2011: Alternatively, In LyX 2.0, you can use 'non-TeX fonts' and choose Linux Libertine & Biolinum if these are installed on your system. Then you will compile your documents with XeTeX. Here, I was telling about the "non-TeX fonts" fonts switch with Libertine beeing just one example font with a wide coverage of glyphs. Remember, that this is just one way of using Libertine. There is also support for Libertine with 8-bit TeX engines via a set of TeX-encoded Libertine font files. Unfortunately, I don't know enaugh about the TeX-Lilypond interaction, so I cannot tell whether switching to XeTeX or LuaTeX will help. However, if LICR macros like Gr\"u\s e do not help, it may be Lilypond uses utf-8 encoding internally and you are passing text to it and this should be utf-8 encoded, too. In this case, you could, of course, also try pdflatex with the "Unicode (utf-8)" input-encoding (in LyX called LaTeX encoding). Günter Thanks for the inputs. I am still struggling with LilyPond under Lyx. Under Kubuntu as well as under Debian I have troubles. In fact, the situation is now worse than before and I do not know why. Before, I could not use Umlaute; they were not displayed in the pdflatex output, but I could export the pdf file. According to the proposals made on the list (thanks again) I did this: -selected non-TeX fonts -included the module LilyPondBook under modules -selected TexGyreTermes (Libertine not shown, although a search finds libertine.tar.xz in my /texlive/2013/archive) -view pdf gives this message: Lyx package lilypond-book->latex not available. *Question:* is lilypond-book->latex the same as LilyPondBook, or what action do I have to do to react to: Lyx package lilypond-book->latex not available. I tried to use the lilypond-help file (specific manuals) and rename it, which worked before. Even this is now giving Lyx package lilypond-book->latex not available. And after clicking on ok I ended up with a lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught! Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX, hope you have not lost any data. Please read the bug-reporting instructions in 'Help->Introduction' and send us a bug report, if necessary. Thanks! Bye. Error: LyX crashed! SIGSEGV signal caught! Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX, hope you have not lost any data. Please read the bug-reporting instructions in 'Help->Introduction' and send us a bug report, if necessary. Thanks! Bye. *Question:* Where is the error message stored? I would like to read it and perhaps report it. *Question:* Has somebody a short working example of a Lilypond file for Debian or Kubuntu, which I could try? Wolfgang
