Dear Ed,
thanks for this suggestion.
I shall try.
However, if this discussion is to be relevant for current users,
I probably have some catchup to do.
Since yesterday, I have realized that my version of LilyPond was "old"
(relatively speaking)
because I had installed LilyPond (version 2.16.0) on my computer on
Tuesday 18th september 2012
and made experiments (on the basis of the online documentation)
from time to time, but not regularly,
with ong interruptions,
wondering whether LilyPond would be flexible enough for my needs with
Indian music (in transcription).
(discovering the commands "\compoundMeter" was reassuring, in that
respect ...)
I realized that my version of LilyPond was "old"
because it could not handle commands for tuplets,
contrary to what the online documentation had led me to expect
("\tuplet 5/4 { g4 aes8 g fis }" was not recognized by LilyPond 2.16,
although it is quite useful to have this syntax, for some of the Indian
rythms)
I have now installed LilyPond 2.18,
and will have to see which obstacles have been removed
for a SMOOTH use of LilyPond,
which is a great program,
although it takes time to discover every possibility!
:-)
Cheers

Hi Jean-Luc,
I don't have a true Lilypond answer but.
Inkscape sets the bounding box default to the drawing-area, so I gues
that you only had to open the svg and save it as eps. If thats true
than you are fine with Inkscape. Did you know that you can use
Inkscape on the command line.
You can add this to to Lilypond batch file to convert the svg to eps.
*****snippet_eps.bat ********************************
*****************************************************
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe"
-dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts %1 %2 %3 %4
*************************************
*************************************
"c:\program files (x86)\inkscape\inkscape.exe" "%~n1.svg"
--export-eps="%~n1.eps"
I had to guess where inkscape is located on your computer, so make
sure this path is correct.
I couldn't test this, I haven't Lilypond running on Windows.
Greetings, Ed||
