Hi, I try to make a little songbook for my choir with lilypond-book. There are two questions from me:
1. I use a main file "bkc_lieder.lytex" with lines like \lilypondfile[line-width=17.0\cm]{mit_frohsinn_und_gesang.ily} but I would prefer something like \def\opt{line-width=17.0\cm} % in the LaTeX preamble and then \lilypondfile[\opt]{mit_frohsinn_und_gesang.ily} to have a single place where to define everything that is the same for all files. When compiling the second way I get complaints about unknown option "\opt". What is the right way to do the job? 2. When compiling for example "mit_frohsinn_und_gesang.ly" as a single file I get a fine output, where the first system is indented to have place for the voice names "Sopran", "Alt" ... The next systems use the full line width. As part of the lilypond-book procedure the first system looks fine but the following ones also use the more narrow space as if the voice name had to precede every system. Even when setting line-with by hand this behavior is not changed. I use version 2.18.2 and pdflatex. I use the following command in a bash shell scipt: BUCHTITEL="bkc_lieder" BUCHDAT=$BUCHTITEL.lytex IDIR="incl" IDIR2="../incl" AUSDIR1=.ly AUSDIR2=.ly2 lilypond-book --format=latex --output=$AUSDIR1 \ --lily-output-dir=$AUSDIR2 \ -I$IDIR -I$IDIR2 $BUCHDAT Anybody out there with a good hint or maybe a working example? Thank you!
