Re: LaTex and LP (undefined environment)

[Mats Bengtsson]

Did you also read in the LilyPond manual how to process the file
using lilypond-book in order to get a file that latex can understand?
I don't know anything about TexShop, but it's probably possible to 
define custom commands so that you can run lilypond-book from within
TexShop. Also, lilypond-book is case sensitive, so use 
\begin{lilypond}, nothing
else.
Finally, if you use Windows, note that there are some problems with 
lilypond-book in Windows. If you search the mailing list archives, you 
can find directions on how to work around these problems.
