This is how openLilyLib is loaded. If you have oll-core stored so that C:\openLilyLib\oll-core\package.ily is a file and call LilyPond with lilypond-windows.exe -I C:\openLilyLib alleluja.ly then \include "oll-core/package.ily" will find the file because the search path C:\openLilyLib plus the relative path given in the \include statement "oll- core/package.ily" will be joined to C:\openLilyLib\oll-core\package.ily 1, Using the include: \include “C:\openLilyLib\oll-core\package.ily” in alleluja.ly . Would lilypond- windows.exe alleluja.ly work? 2, If not, why? 3,Before you stated “Then you need to add C:\openLilyLib to LilyPond’s search path”; is this what you mean: lilypond-windows.exe -I C:\openLilyLib alleluja.ly Thank you, ƒg HTH Urs 15.
