Thank you, but now I always get: ! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted). <to be read again> . \figurewidth ->545. 03625pt \dodostartlilypond ...expr (\LPscale \figurewidth ) \ifdim \FigWidth >\localh... from the code: \def\LPscale{.6315789} % downscale the image \ifvmode \getfiguredimensions[\bufferprefix lilypond-\the\lily! figures.pdf][]% \leavevmode% \newdimen\FigWidth \FigWidth=\dimexpr(\LPscale\figurewidth) \ifdim\FigWidth>\localhsize \!!dimena=\localhsize \advance\!!dimena by-\FigWidth \noindent\hskip\!!dimena \fi \fi \externalfigure[\lily!img][scale=\dimexpr(1000\LPscale)]% \egroup% What's wrong with \dimexpr{\SomeDef\SomeDim} ? Some expansion problem? (Sorry, I only try to patch the code, I didn't write it.) Greetlings from Lake Constance!
