Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying. What do you want to achieve? `lilypond-book` is intended to create *static* HTML pages, i.e., you have to call the script in advance on your HTML files (with LilyPond code embedded in `<lilypond>` blocks, for example). > [...] I tried to search list archives to avoid a duplicate question, > but the website reported the following error several times, and when > trying to register to the list: Recently, gnu.org had to counter severe DDoS attacks, causing the problems you experienced.
