I suggest adding the following to "13.2 Integrating LaTeX and music", as an extra feature. It would be useful for HTML and texinfo as well, but this works for LaTeX only. Best regards,
Vaclav Smilauer --- Sometimes, it is useful to display music elements as if they continued after the end of the fragment, such as ties and slurs. It can be done by breaking the staff and suppressing inclusion of the rest of the lilypond output. Ties/slurs will look as if they continued on the next line, but without that line being present: [show figure of the next LaTeX code snippet; go http://www.arcig.cz/~eudoxos/lily-doc/ for EPS and PNG versions, as generated by lilypond (2.6.3) from the lilypond-book generated snippet with --preview, in case there are technical difficulties generating the image for texinfo/HTML documentation automatically. Picture speaks for thousand words!]h To achieve this, define \betweenLilyPondSystem in such a way that inclusion of other systems is terminated once the required number of them is included. Since \betweenLilypondSystem is first called _after_ the first system, including only the first system is trivial, e.g.: \def\betweenLilyPondSystem#1{\endinput} \begin[fragment]{lilypond} c'1\( e'( c'~ \break c' d) e f\) \end{lilypond} If a greater number of systems is requested, TeX conditional has to be used before the \endinput. In this example, replace "2" by the numer of systems you want in the output: \def\betweenLilyPondSystem#1{ \ifnum##1<2\else\endinput\fi } ... Remember that the definition of \betweenLilyPondSystem is effective until TeX quits the current group (such as LaTeX environment) or is overridden by another definition (which is, in most cases, for the rest of the document). To reset your definition, say \let\betweenLilyPondSystem\undefined in your LaTeX source. [Consider inclusion of the rest, I am not sure:] You can avoid typing by defining a TeX macro \def\justFirstNSystemsPlease#1{ \def\betweenLilyPondSystem##1{\ifnum##1<#1\else\endinput\fi} } and then saying only how many systems you want before each fragment: \justFirstNSystemsPlease{3} \begin{lilypond}...\end{lilypond} \justFirstNSystemsPlease{1} \begin{lilypond}...\end{lilypond} _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
