Thanks, Julien! You seem to be the general LyX expert for me! That worked perfectly, although the output is less than desired. At the moment, it inserts another page with only the single bar of Lilypond notation on it. Perhaps it would be better if a .png would be inserted, rather like the OpenOffice.org Lilypond plugin, which compiles the Lilypond code into a small image which is inserted into the document, or at least it did last time I used it about a year ago. Perhaps something like this is possible, but I don't know about it? @Torquil: On Tue, 2010-08-31 at 20:50 +0200, Torquil Macdonald Sørensen wrote: > On 31/08/10 20:03, Etienne Snyman wrote: > > On Tue, 2010-08-31 at 19:08 +0200, Torquil Macdonald Sørensen wrote: > >> Do you want to write Lilypond code directly in LyX, and have LyX > >> automatically > >> run the necessary 'lilypond-book' script in order to generate LaTeX code > >> that > >> can be compiled to PDF? > > > > That would actually be a great addition.

Do you think it would be possible to have a plugin? erhaps a window in which you can write the Lilypond code and then a Lilypond snippet is automatically inserted? I know Julien Rioux wrote something similar for the development version of LyX 2, but I don't know what it's like. Thanks to everyone, you guys really are the best. Etienne
