Hi Thomas,
here's a small how-to:
-Download the file I'm sending with this mail
(It's just the LSR file, you could have copy/pasted it as well)
-Create a new file, in the same folder, and name it whateveryouwant.ly
-In this new file, paste the following code (taken from the LSR):
\version "2.11.36"
\header {
title = "The Title"
composer = "The Composer"
poet = "The Lyricist"
date = "1740-1742"
arrangement = "..."
copyright = "Copyright line"
}
\paper {
%% Translate the TOC title
tocTitle = "TABLE OF CONTENTS"
}
\include "book-titling.ily" %% change this line accordingly to your filename.
\bookTitle "Title for header"
%% set to #f to turn off piece numbering
\useRehearsalNumbers ##t
%% Table of contents
\pageBreak
\markuplines \table-of-contents
%% 1st Chapter
\chapter "Act I"
\section "Scene 1"
\titledPiece \markup Overtura
\repeat unfold 12 { c'4 d' e' f' \break }
\section "Scene 2"
\piece \markup { Choir: \italic { bla bla bla } }
\repeat unfold 12 { g'4 f' e' d' \break }
\chapter "Act II"
\section "Scene 1"
\titledPiece \markup Overtura
{ c'4 d' e' f' g'1 }
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
-save this new file.
-compile it with LilyPond
-open the result with a PDF reader.
-now you can start changing the text elements, adding you own music,
staves etc (at the places where Nicolas has put some dummy "\repeat
unfold" notes.
> The style sheet also has a lot of strange characters. I think they are not
> correctly stored in the document:
Yes, they are :) It's an advanced susbstitution function, that detects
accented characters and makes sure that LilyPond will handle them
correctly (the code has been written to work even with foreign
languages).
