Hi,
I'm an occasional user of Lilypond and so far, I've created only smaller
examples. I'm neither an experienced user with Latex, so bare with me.
I'm trying to use Lilypond-book (v.2.14.2) with TeXShop (v2.43) on Mac
OS X (v10.7.3). The installation worked and I can run a small test-file:
1. I create a myfile.lytex in TexShop 2. I can run lilypond-book from
the command line 3. I open the ./out/myfile.tex in TexShop and do the
typesetting as I usually would for a Latex file.
Sofar, myfile.lytex only calls lilypond-files with snippets.
Here are my first questions (sure more to follow…): A. – I'm trying to
simplify the usage. Ideally, I'd like to do the three steps mentioned
above in one call to the "typeset"-command in TeXShop. Is there a way to
do this? – One reason I'd like to do this: When I change only some text
in .lytex and run lilypond-book, the file ./out/myfile.tex does not get
updated because all the lilypond-snippets are up to date. Any remedy to
that in the command-line usage of lilypond-book?
B. Layout question: One of the files that I include has no page-size
indications. It's basically a big StaffGroup and the width fits on a A4
page with no problem. When I include the same file within a .lytex file,
it does not fit anymore; the StaffGroup gets cut in the middle and is
spread on 2 pages width.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Dona
P.S: I tried to send this message directly to the list, but it didn't
work although I'm subscribed. Is there anything that I missed?
