Yes... of course that works fine. But it's a workaround, not a fix. The way my files are laid out, I have several files with individual pieces, and each of their facsimile pages. I would like to keep these facsimile pages in the same ly file as the music, but in the final book put all the facsimile pages AFTER the music. Each of the variables are bookparts, which means I have to put the tocItem in the variable, not in the final book.
Piece_1.ly Piece_1_Music *tocItem "Piece 1" Piece_1_Facsimile *tocItem "Facsimiles" Piece_2.ly Piece_2_Music *tocItem "Piece 2" Piece_2_Facsimile Final Book order: Piece_1_Music Piece_2_Music Piece_1_Facsimile Piece_2_Facsimile The above configuration would result in the issue described, with the facsimile tocitem appearing BEFORE the piece 2 tocitem in the table of contents even though it comes after it in the book. In general it annoys me in lilypond that variables have to be only ONE thing, and first of all you can't combine, say a variable and a tocitem into another single variable, and second of all even when you do Freddy _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
