Re: [Mutopia-discuss] Help with Lilypond

[steve]

     Howdy!

     There are lots of different ways to do this. Lilypond and  the *NIX
systems
it runs on are very flexible...

    You may learn something by wading through the files in my source
directory
tree for my arrangement of Goldberg Variations

      http://indra2.web.net/~linuxsui/gooeytar.com/public/bwv-988/0.80/

    I have tried to organize the build of both a "book" and individual
variations
all from the same source files organized in multiple directories....

     It can certainly be improved on, but it seems to work out ok..
