Re: Metadata in svg output

[Stuart Pullinger]

Does anyone know of some documentation regarding adding commands to lilypond?

From a quick look over the lilypond source it seems that I would need to add a 
function to scm/output-svg.scm to call "entity" to create the <metadata> XML 
tag. I would also need to add my command to the files lily/lily-lexer.cc and 
lily/parser.yy. I am not sure where to go from there to link the 2 ends up. I 
would appreciate any clues as to which files I should be looking at.

Thanks,
Stuart
