Yes - mea culpa. I will order the sackcloth today ... You are absolutely right that using the correct docs for my Lilypond version (2.8) works, namely: mkdir outputs lilypond-book --psfonts --output=outputs/ myarticle.lytex cd outputs latex myarticle.tex dvips -o -h myarticle.psfonts -Ppdf myarticle.dvi ps2pdf myarticle.ps
This is from http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.8/Documentation/user/lilypond/Invoking-lilypond_002dbook.html#Invoking-lilypond_002dbook The page for 2.10 is similar: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Invoking-lilypond_002dbook#Invoking-lilypond_002dbook However, I have just seen Mats comment about 2.10, which seems to suggest that for a pdf the commands should be: lilypond-book --pdf -o output=outputs/ myarticle.lytex cd outputs pdflatex myarticle.tex dvips -o -h myarticle.psfonts -Ppdf myarticle.dvi ps2pdf myarticle.ps I will try this when I am able to upgrade to 2.10. In the meantime, much to my delight, Kile is able to make all the 2.8 compile steps above a one-click option, and I want to document that somewhere now that I have it working. On a more general docs point, I do wonder if there would be merit in flagging the docs to point out more clearly mismatches between them and the version? There is currently a strip along the bottom giving the version, but I missed it entirely. Would it be possible to move this to the top of the page, put a big red border around it, and change the text to something like "This info relates to an obsolete version x-x-x of Lilypond - go here to read docs for the current stable version". Then plonkers like me won't waste time trying to sort out something that has already been sorted by your good selves. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.klebran.org.uk - Gwirydd gramadeg rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
