As you could see, NoteEdit does not support converting NoteEdit documents to Lilypond from the command line without user interaction. However, don't let this stop you! I hope NoteEdit will get this feature, but even without it, it is possible to do this with this caveat: Once you export or preview your document, NoteEdit will be invoked automatically, and then you have to manually export the Lilypond format. After that, the rest should be dandy. So, my suggestion for a task list: 1) Install NoteEdit and learn how to export to Lilypond 2) Install Lilypond and learn how to typeset to LaTeX, and preview the result. I.e. you should be able to go from a document in NoteEdit, and all the way to a DVI output. 3) Read up on the external material inset. 4) Write a small script that invokes NoteEdit with a file with the premise that the user should export to Lilypond, and then the scripts continues to invoke Lilypond that produces TeX. 5) Write the external material definition that invokes NoteEdit, and that uses the script to produce the TeX, which is inlined in the exported document. 6) Celebrate. So, once Juerg of NoteEdit implements the command line parameter, you will just adjust the script, and the end result is seemless support for beautiful music in LyX! Greets, Asger
