Hello,
I'm trying to find the documentation for creating custom insets and having a bit of trouble. Can someone point me towards it and let me know if I need more info to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

I'd like to inset text into my custom input which would then be processed by an external program (actually, its a script which runs a few programs to create and trim a pdf) which creates a graphic. I want the generated graphic to be inserted into the Latex document (I don't need a preview, so just the compiled document would be fine).

I know this is possible as I'm using the Lilypond custom inset. This is a huge help as I don't need to keep track of a bazillion extra graphics files and I can simply edit the Lilypond input in Lyx. I'd like the same sort of easy-of-use with Chordii, a program which generates pretty nice looking lead sheets for musicians.

This is all for a guitar method book I've been working on for some time.

Thanks!
Best,
kale
