Re: Finding files in include paths
I documented it in https://codereview.appspot.com/573400043/ you could add a scheme callback similar to ly:source-file, eg. ly:source-find to do the equivalent of kpsewhich On Mon, Jan 20, 2020 at 9:22 AM Urs Liska wrote: > Hi all, > > how/where is the file searchign with LilyPond's search path is > implemented? > > If I write > \include "a/relative/path" > the given path is searched for relative to all search paths known to > LilyPond. > > Is there a way to do the same in Scheme, say > (file-visible-to-lilypond "a/relative/path") > to determine whether a target can be found within any LilyPond search > path?

Finding files in include paths
Hi all, how/where is the file searchign with LilyPond's search path is implemented? If I write \include "a/relative/path" the given path is searched for relative to all search paths known to LilyPond. Is there a way to do the same in Scheme, say (file-visible-to-lilypond "a/relative/path") to determine whether a target can be found within any LilyPond search path? Probably the function should return the absolut path, similar to what kpsewhich does. I need that to check whether a certain file is present (and then open it) without knowing the absolute location.
