Is there a way of getting Lilypond to search for \include files in a particular directory, other than by using the command line option -I ? This is not very convenient, because I usually run Lllypond from Emacs, using Ctrl-C Ctrl-F.
In bash I can add items to the environment variable PATH; perhaps there is something similar in Lilypond? The reason I ask is that, with the help of Stefano's very helpful "quick rundown", I thought I would experiment with the Edition Engraver. I am completely new to using 'git', but after some effort I managed to get the relevant parts of OpenLilyLib into a directory called ~/openlilylib/ . When I added \include "oll-core/package.ily" to my test.ly file, I got a "cannot find file" error, because Lilypond doesn't know where to look for it. If I give an absolute path or a relative path, package.ily loads OK, but then in that file the line '\include "oll- core/internal/os-path.ily"' produces an error for the same reason. Perhaps the answer is to put a symbolic link from somewhere in the lilypond code tree to the openlilylib directory, but then I would have to remember to recreate it every time I install a newer version of Lilypond, which again is less than convenient. How can I get things to run smoothly? David _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
