I just put my similar file at the top of the directory structure that contains 
all my ly files and include it in files one or more levels down in the 
structure by specifying the relative path. E.g. for a file three levels down:

 

\include "../../../definitions.ly"

Subject: PATH and definitions.ly problem

 

Hi -

I feel kind of foolish, but . . . .

I haven't had much time to do much Lilypond work on my new-ish Ubuntu setup. 
I'd like some advice on where to put a generic "definitions.ly" file that I 
want to include in most of my pieces. I'm afraid that if I put the 
definitions.ly in my Lilypond program directory, it will be eliminated or 
overwritten when I upgrade. Any advice? If I put it in in a directory above my 
working directory (I have more than one working directory), how and where do I 
specify the path in Lilypond?
