In LyX 2.0, you can use 'non-TeX fonts' and choose Linux Libertine 
Biolinum if these are installed on your system. Then you will compile
your documents with XeTeX.

Here, I was telling about the non-TeX fonts fonts switch with Libertine
beeing just one example font with a wide coverage of glyphs.

Remember, that this is just one way of using Libertine. There is also
support for Libertine with 8-bit TeX engines via a set of TeX-encoded
Libertine font files.


Unfortunately, I don't know enaugh about the TeX-Lilypond interaction, so I

However, if LICR macros like

passing text to it and this should be utf-8 encoded, too.

In this case, you could, of course, also try pdflatex with the Unicode

Thanks for the inputs. I am still struggling with LilyPond under Lyx.
Under Kubuntu as well as under Debian I have troubles. In fact, the 
situation is now worse than before and I do not know why.


Before, I could not use Umlaute; they were not displayed in the pdflatex 
output, but I could export the pdf file.


According to the proposals made on the list (thanks again)
I did this:
-selected non-TeX fonts
-included the module LilyPondBook under modules
-selected TexGyreTermes  (Libertine not shown, although a search finds
   libertine.tar.xz in my /texlive/2013/archive)
-view pdf gives this message: Lyx package lilypond-book-latex not 
available.
*Question:* is lilypond-book-latex the same as LilyPondBook, or what 
action do I have to do to react to:

Lyx package lilypond-book-latex not available.

I tried to use the lilypond-help file (specific manuals) and rename it, 
which worked before. Even this is now giving

Lyx package lilypond-book-latex not available.
And after clicking on ok I ended up with a
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught!
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX, hope you have not lost any data.

A question on Lyx

[Norbert Böhm]

Hello!


I want to set a graphic over the holy DIN A4- side.

But Lyx sets it only on the Top- and Sidemargins,

so the Grafic comes to small or wandering out.

Please, have you a good tip for me?


Best Greetings, Norbert

Requirements for Lilypond?

[stefano franchi]

I wanted to take a look at the recent issue concerning lilypond and
umlauts, but I cannot even load the lilypond manual cleanly.

The lilypond-book module complains that I am missing lilypond-book--Latex

So I guess I am missing a converter. But what are the converter's
parameters?
Obviously I know nothing about lilypond


Cheers,

Stefano

 Ah, in my ignorance of lilypond I had assumed it was a Latex/TeX
class/package and looked into texlive manager, where the  the only packages
listed in the standard repos are lilyglyphs and lilypond-context, both of
which seem to be installed by default.

I now realize lilypond is completely separate from TeX.  pacman -S lilypond
solved the issue (I'm on arch, not ubuntu)
Everything works now.

Re: umlaute in Lilypond Lyx file

[stefano franchi]

Wolfgang,

could you send a minimal example showing your problem?

I tried compiling Lyx's help file on lilypond with xetex and libertine and
it works fine. I even scattered a few umlaute at random with no problems.
So it looks like there are no issues preventing lilypond to work with
either system fonts and xetex.


Cheers,

Stefano

This error message actually shows that either you do not have lilypond
installed on your system (I just ran into the same problem a few minutes
ago, solved with Vincent's help), or you have it isntalled, but somehow LyX
cannto find it.
So, first make sure that lilypond is actually availaible: try typing
lilypond or lilipond-book at a promp. If nothing happens, reinstall
lilypond
Then, reconfigure LyX, quit, restart LyX, and try opening the lilypond help
manual again. The error should be gone.

Cheers,

Stefano

Hello Richard, thank you for the fast answer.


Since 6 years I write ab large book with 800 sites - now on Lyx.

Of cause I did set the sites-, top-  bottom- margins.

Wenn I input a Graphic, this margins render the visuable field now.

I´m not a Latex - specialist, it means, I try out the possibilities of

Lyx: Graphicinput, as Slideobject, click on the Graphic, scale it...

but I can´t make it visible behind the borders of the margins.

I have jpg - Graphics, which should rich over the hole A4 - site.

May I shoult use a Latex - or Tex- command?


So you want the graphic to cover the entire page, and not to be restricted
to the margins? If so, then I am no graphics expert, but a quick look at
Google suggests centering the graphic. Then it will not start at the left
margin. If you want it to start above the top margin, though, that will not
help. I am not sure how to do that.

Richard

PS Please keep replies on the list. That way other people can help as well.

Did you try:

1. "sudo apt-get install lilypond"
2. Reconfigure LyX.

I now realize lilypond is completely separate from TeX.  pacman -S lilypond
solved the issue (I'm on arch, not ubuntu)
Everything works now.

Re: umlaute in Lilypond Lyx file

[stefano franchi]

Wolfgang,

could you send a minimal example showing your problem?

I tried compiling Lyx's help file on lilypond with xetex and libertine and
it works fine. I even scattered a few umlaute at random with no problems.
So it looks like there are no issues preventing lilypond to work with
either system fonts and xetex.


Cheers,

Stefano

This error message actually shows that either you do not have lilypond
installed on your system (I just ran into the same problem a few minutes
ago, solved with Vincent's help), or you have it isntalled, but somehow LyX
cannto find it.
So, first make sure that lilypond is actually availaible: try typing
"lilypond" or "lilipond-book" at a promp. If nothing happens, reinstall
lilypond
Then, reconfigure LyX, quit, restart LyX, and try opening the lilypond help
manual again. The error should be gone.

Cheers,

Stefano

Hello!


I want to set a graphic over the holy DIN A4- side.

But Lyx sets it only on the Top- and Sidemargins,

so the Grafic comes to small or wandering out.

Please, have you a good tip for me?


It would probably be best if you could post a *small* example
file showing what you want to do and how you are trying to do it.

Hello Richard, thank you for the fast answer.


Since 6 years I write ab large book with 800 sites - now on Lyx.

Of cause I did set the sites-, top- & bottom- margins.

Wenn I input a Graphic, this margins render the visuable field now.

I´m not a Latex - specialist, it means, I try out the possibilities of

Lyx: Graphicinput, as Slideobject, click on the Graphic, scale it...

but I can´t make it visible behind the borders of the margins.

I have jpg - Graphics, which should rich over the hole A4 - site.

May I shoult use a Latex - or Tex- command?


So you want the graphic to cover the entire page, and not to be restricted
to the margins? If so, then I am no graphics expert, but a quick look at
Google suggests centering the graphic. Then it will not start at the left
margin. If you want it to start above the top margin, though, that will not
help. I am not sure how to do that.

Richard

PS Please keep replies on the list. That way other people can help as well.
