Hello,
I’m using Mac TexLive 2020 with all updates.
TeXShop proposes only Lilypond and Lilypond-LaTeX as reasonable-looking engines.
Lilypond accepts only LilyPond code and works fine, but that’t not what I’m
after.
Using Lilypond-LaTeX with this contents:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{lyluatex}
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{document}
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{lilypond}
\version "2.20.0"
music = \relative {
c d e
}
\score {
\new ChoirStaff \with {
instrumentName = "2 Fl."
}
<<
\new Staff {
\transpose c c' \music
}
\new Staff {
\clef bass
\music
}
>>
}
\end{lilypond}
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
\end{document}
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
leads to:
cp: No match.
Usage: lilypond-book [OPTION]... FILE
lilypond-book: error: no such option: --psfonts
Something still escapes me...
