Hi all,
I'm just wondering if it's possible in Lilypond to create a table of
contents that is alphabetical by item, rather than by page number order?
I'm trying to create an alphabetical index by hymn tune or first line that
will go in the back of a book.
Many thanks for any help,
Brent.

positioned near the beginning.

I do have a rabbit to pull out, because I actually already posted a
snippet like this on the lilypond-user-fr list. See

Thanks for the link! I didn't know that snippet.
Just a note: at some point there is

Hello Jean,
at least for me this code fails to change the order of the toc. The reason for
this is that toc-markup does not in fact contain the markup, but the symbol
under which the formatting markup is saved in layout.
So I suppose you rather want to use the text property:

Thanks for all the tips everyone! I will look into these snippets.
I do actually need to create multiple indices (alphabetical by first line
and by tune name0, so maybe my dream won't be possible for the time being,
but it's good to know this functionality exists.

Hej Brent!
Creating multiple indices is not a big thing. The problem is that the code for
the toc has to be executed at initialisation (see toc-init.ly), so we cannot

for filtering to specific entries.
