Karl and Alexender, thank you very much for the contribution. I'm not an
EMACS or VIM user, but it still is useful information.
Valentin, and everyone who might be intrigued, I would appreciate some help
with regards to the .tex file.... I've added the lyluatex package,
specified the magic command for the compiler (% !TeX program = lualatex)
and have run the command as instructed by the lyluatex's documentation
(lualatex --shell-escape).
The compiler throws errors of "The score doesn't contain any music", even
using the "nofragment" argument of the package's call.
Any help would be appreciated!
