I know understanding how images are used is a bit of a problem - which I

any help?
Thanks, those are helpful. I'll have to remember that those build system
notes are down there. I see now that LilyPond is being run on the new
file and the pdf and png files do end up in:
build/Documentation/ly-examples/out-www
but for some reason those files are not being copied into
build/out-website/website/ly-examples
Where they need to be for the website.
Also, there's another issue. The scripts to create these example images
(at two sizes to allow "click to enlarge") use -dpreview so only the first
system of this bwv861 example makes it into the image. (sigh) So maybe
trying to use this examples machinery is not helpful. (Unless we want to
edit all of the examples ly files so that they only output the content
that should be in the images and then drop the -dpreview.)
At this point it would probably be simplest to just inline the lilypond
code for this example on the home page, like it is done in the essay.
(Probably putting it in an include file to avoid duplication.) We
wouldn't get "click to enlarge" that way (which was the point of using the
examples mechanisms) but maybe that's not needed on the home page and/or
could be a future enhancement.

I don't think you can do that. The reason for all the odd stuff with the
image files is that the server we host lilypond on does not use lilypond to
make the website - so all images must be pre-created to allow the website
itself to be remade. Note that much of the website it really made using
make doc during a Gub run, but some of it (the homepage and the \web stuff)
is made with make website and requires no upload. The server has cron jobs
that pull git and run make website.
