Re: eps file

[ming tsang]

Hi Valentin,

Thank you for the info. But I have a hard time entering the file path name. When I ran lilypond through frescobaldi v2.3.3, I got an error - see at the end of the lily code. I have no idea what "ice-9 format" is.

Shalom,

Ming.

\version "2.23.3"

\markup {
  \general-align #Y #DOWN {
    \epsfile #X #20
    #"c:\User\yming tsang\Documents\SNIPPET\Untitled_draw-squibble-1.eps"
%    \epsfile #Y #20 #"Untitled_draw-squibble-1.eps"
  }
}

Hello Ming!

Just put the name of the file either as absolute path or as relative path to
your lilypond file instead of context-example.eps.

The sytax for \epsfile is
\epsfile axis size path
Where axis is the axis for scaling, size is the size of the end result along
this axis and path is the path to the file.

Cheers,
Valentin
