Probably the documentation on lilypond-book is lacking (can somebody please check and or fix?), but the lilypond documentation itself has always been built using include directives to lilypond-book.
If you have v2.2 or later, use:
lilypond-book --process='lilypond-bin -I include-dir1 -I include-dir2'
if you have an earlier version, do:
lilypond-book -I include-dir1 -I include-dir2
See lilypond-book --help for more information.
Of course, the first file name found in the path that matches is used, so you still need unique .ly file names for snippets included in one book.
You'll also want to check-out the --output option, and possibly even use LilyPond's pre-cooked makefile, installed as something like:
/usr/share/lilypond/2.2.0/make/ly.make
Hope this helps. Jan.
After a load of experimentation I think I found out how to assemble a multidirectory lilypond-book project. I didn't get to try out your solution, Jan, but next time I need to I'll give it a try.
My approach is pretty simple. Keep the .tex file in the top directory, and have one folder for each movement. In the .tex file, use \lilypond {subdirectory/lilypondproject.ly} .
Within the subdirectory in question, wherever you find a \include "file.ly", replace it with \include "subdirectory/file.ly". My failure in getting this to work before was due to the fact that I didn't do this to some include files. AFAIK, this hasn't produced major side effects yet. The only problem is that anything found within my header.ly doesn't appear.
Still, Jan's version is easier and less messy. Maybe I'll try his suggestion after all...
