Ah. It never occurred to me to try to allow for anything but the
standard "lilypond filename.ly" command. That's a good idea. I don't
use anything but the standard command very often, though, so I won't
lose any sleep over it. I *was* prepared to lose sleep over the fact
that the output files weren't ending up in the right directory ;-)
Glad to have figured that one out.
Instead of basename you could use the built in string manipulation stuff
this:
# determines the source filename
srcfile=`basename $1`
# removes the extension from source filename
FILENOEXTENSION=${srcfile%.*}
# determines directory
OUTDIR="`dirname $1`"
It does the same thing as basename, but more generally. In particular
is says to strip off of the end of a string a pattern. In this case our
pattern is simple, just a period followed by anything.
