Hi, James,
C-h v LilyPond-command-alist gives me this: [...]
Value:
(("LilyPond" "Lilypond %s" "%s" "%l" "View")
[...])
Uh, I forgot to mention that I have the following in my ~/.emacs (always
assuming you also use some Linux or MacOS X; I have no clue about the
windows configuration):
(setq LilyPond-lilypond-command "Lilypond")
The default should be "lilypond" instead of "Lilypond" - the latter
links to the current git compilation on my machine. I'm not sure
whether it suffices to just say
(setq LilyPond-lilypond-command "Lilypond <your-options>")
in your Emacs configuration file or if you really have to tweak the
whole LilyPond-command-alist; but I hope this will give you enough hints.
Actually, thinking about it a little bit more: I recommend you build
yourself a wrapper like the following for lily s.t. you can call the
same commands both in Emacs and in the shell. (This is the essentials
of my ~/bin/Lilypond shell script; use chmod a+x after writing it.
Then, the above (setq ...) command does the right thing.)
#!/bin/sh
LILYPOND=$HOME/build/lilypond/release/out/bin/lilypond
LILYPOND_OPTIONS="--relocate"
exec $LILYPOND "$LILYPOND_OPTIONS" "$@"
Here, $@ forwards all command-line arguments to the actual program.
$LILYPOND should point to your local binary (default:
/usr/bin/lilypond), and $LILYPOND_OPTIONS should contain all the options
you want to specify. "--relocate" is only necessary for out-of-source
builds, when the default directory for all the Scheme and .ly files is
not used.
HTH,
Alexander
