FWIW, I'm (ab)using the current behaviour of \include to produce differently typeset different editions of music from the same source. (Yes, I know there are other ways, but bear with me.)
What I do is this: I have an include directory that always resides in ../include/. A single file here contains my "house style": Margins, staff size, copyright-ish notice, ISMN placement, rest merging et cetera. All based on the default paper size of A4. Now I'm typesetting a book in 6"x9" format. I use symbolic links to the usual .ly sources, but I have a different ../include which *mostly* just contains symlinks to the original files, but which alters my "house style" so that the paper size is different (with suitable margin and staff size changes to accomodate that), ISMNs are typeset differently, I lose the tagline (its information is moved to the copyright page of the book). I even replace the title by a blank one to have it typeset in the same place by LaTeX and get song numbering that way. It's all an extremely ugly hack, but it works. All that said, I'd normally prefer nested includes that work the way you expect, though. Or a simple way to set the lilypond (and guile) include path... ;-) -- Arvid _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
