What you need should be included with lily and already on your computer.
Since you don't write what os you're using I don't know where the files
exactly would be. Anyways: I have these four files in my .elisp folder:
/home/atte/.elisp/lilypond-font-lock.el
/home/atte/.elisp/lilypond-indent.el
/home/atte/.elisp/lilypond-init.el
/home/atte/.elisp/lilypond-mode.el
And the following two lines in my .emacs
(load-library "lilypond-mode.el")
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode))
You also need gv installed, but you prob already use that...
Hope this helps

Problems with lilypond-book
Hello,
I have reposted my question with the source attached. I hope that you can
spot what I am doing wrong!
I am having a problem with lilypond-book. I use the command
lilypond-book gloworms-book.tex
followed by
latex gloworms-book.latex
I am including some lilypond music by using \lilypondfile
and the error I am getting is something like lilypond-123123.tex not
found. Lilypond book is producing lilypond-123123.midi and
lilypond-123123.ly but not a tex file.
Any suggestions?
Colin

The hardest thing is the lack of ability to pass values to the likes of #'extra-offset, which makes the user have to have a different definition for each value. Of course I can do that now, but I'd rather do it in lilypond. Is it particularly impossible to adopt or adapt the LaTeX \newcommand to make that possible? With that you can pass multiple parameters to a command (or combination of commands?) I've been doing a whopper of a lilypond-book file and I'll miss \newcommand going back to ly2dvi. If it is usable now to any extent with ly2dvi then that deserves to be documented. As for fingering, the traditional thing is to have the finger close to the notehead to which it refers, using whatever whitespace is available, including that on the staff. Engravers made many mistakes in placement. There is no prospect of doing it automatically in the old way ever. The worst practice is to have a finger follow a note in the notation. Fortunately, that doesn't quite happen. That's as bad as having an accidental follow a note. Attached is an excerpt which demonstrates the necessity of being able to move the finger indication close to the notehead. Works under 1.4.13. The stem length depends on the position on the staff now, (Cool!) so you could move the finger indication closer to the notehead when the notehead is on or below the bottom line of the staff and the stem is down, and the inverse of course. That would eliminate the problem in the vast majority of cases. It is incorrect to tuck in rests that way when the stem is down, because a simultaneous rest *must* precede the stem. I don't think engravers would have liked tucking fingering much for a lower voice, but they would have *hated* having the fingering all over the place the way it is in the second page, and it would be centered nicely under the note, and everyone will love it. I see you changed \transpose to make it work like \clef. Good job! Information is not knowledge. Belief is not truth. Indoctrination is not teaching. Tradition is not evidence.

Oh yes... a \newcommand equivalent, which can take arguments, is what I ever wanted to have in lilypond but was afraid to ask !

noteheads
Hi! I guess there must be a simple answer to a very simple question: I want to use the noteheads-1slash and noteheads 2-slash instead of the ordinary noteheads. How do I do it? Olav Gundersen ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
lyric syllable alignment problem
Hi,
I am running lilypond 1.6.0 (debian unstable package)
While moving my pieces from 1.4.x to 1.6.x, I met some troubles.
The following example shows one of them: lyric syllables are not
aligned with the first note of beam groups, as they used to be.
\score {
\addlyrics
\context Staff <
\clef treble
\property Staff.autoBeaming = ##f
\property Staff.automaticMelismata = ##t
\notes { R1 c'8 [c' d'] [c' d' e'] [c' d'] c' d' e' r r2
c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c''
c'' c''} >
\context Lyrics {\lyrics{ il la -- "bro, o" gi -- "ra il" guar -- do. }}
\paper { }
}
ly2dvi gives the following result:
http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/mutopia/test-pb.png
This behaviour is not systematic: when removing the first "R1",
syllable alignment is fine:
http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/mutopia/test-ok.png
Maybe I simply need to upgrade ?
Thanks in advance
Nicolas

It is absolutely out of the question. I am not, NEVER going to add macros to lilypond. They make a complete mess of a nice language, and if you don't believe me, go read LaTeX definition files, or try to make heads and tails of what's written in chapter 20 of the TeX book. I mean, if Donald Knuth manages to make a macro language into something unintelligible, how do you suppose that a mere mortal like me is ever going to make something clean out of it? This decision is final. If you want parametrisation, learn Scheme. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: tab
I apologize for my reply going astray. Too much hurry and not enough attention. I saw that \newcommand had limitations of a peculiar sort, that it was a mess, but I found it useful. Did I do wrong to encourage them? You don't have to tell me that LaTeX is a mess. Part of it is that Knouth and Lamport know a lot about typography but not nearly enough. I don't believe that the mess was the result of users trying to cut down on typing, I just don't. I have a way of passing values now, fairly easily. How are you hurt? Information is not knowledge.
