3. Running lilypond-book
If you want to add pictures of music to a document, you can simply do it the way you would do with other types of pictures. The pictures are created separately, yielding PostScript output or PNG images, and those are included into a LaTeX or HTML document.
lilypond-book provides a way to automate this process: This
program extracts snippets of music from your document, runs
lilypond on them, and outputs the document with pictures
substituted for the music. The line width and font size definitions for
the music are adjusted to match the layout of your document.
This is a separate program from lilypond itself, and is run
on the command line; for more information, see
Command-line usage. If you have trouble running
lilypond-book on Windows or Mac OS X using the command line, then
see either
Windows or
MacOS X.
This procedure may be applied to LaTeX, HTML, Texinfo or DocBook documents.
