Thanks for your detailed response, but I am afraid I still have problems with each one of your alternatives. Your prompt feedback would be greatly appreciatted:
1) Alternative 3B would be ideal for me, since that is exactly the situation. But the problem is that I have cgwin in one directory and Miktex in another and I think lilypond-book will not be able to find all the files included (I have a lot of "input filename" for each chapter. But this is not the biggest problem. For I can create a muckup file.tex with only the lilypond examples and then manually move the eps files to the right directroy. THE real problem is that when I apply lilypond-book to filename.tex it produce a file filename.latex which is exactly the same it does nothing on the file. IT does not create any EPS or anything. That's the real problem which is now driving me crazy. 2) As an alternative 2 or 2B would be eventually fine, I could just move the files again manually. But the problem is that the PDFs generaged this way are not simply the score but a whole page with page number and "Lilypond was here" and all, whereas I just want the figure, so I can integrate into the pdftex document. I think 1B) has the same problem. Sorry, If I even get to write a new Lilypond tutorial for novices, I will include all this.

In principle, it should be possible to do >> lilypond -fpdftex file.ly >> pdftex file.pdftex but unfortunately the backend for pdftex hasn't been updated for a long time, so the result will look terrible (if you even manage to get something out of Lilypond). To conclude: the way to go is to first produce a .ps for the full document followed by ps2pdf or to use epstopdf + pdflatex on the output of lilypond-book. /Mats _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
