Re: where (if anywhere) does lilypond look for locally shared files?

[stefano franchi]

Thanks to all, I am aware of the various unix tricks you can use (>20 yrs linux-only user...), although I didn't know about the Frescobaldi settings.

I guess I spend so much of my time in LaTeX I was expecting a similar solution as the default.

Speaking of which, wouldn't it make sense to have it as such? I can't be the only one who's expecting to find local /vs/ system-wide locations. Or then again I must have been using unix-derivatives for too long and take that for granted. I really have no idea how Windows and Mac users deal with installation issues.

Anyways, I'll shut up now, thanks again to everyone.

So there is no way to indicate a system-wide or user-dependent location. Too bad. I'm sure I'll  forget the --include directive every other time... 

You can add this to .bashrc or in a file executed by the latter:

alias lilypond=‘PATH/TO/lilypond -include PATH/TO/INCLUDE/DIR’
