Mike,

This should be quite easy to achieve. An index entry does not itself
show on the page: it just has to be on the right page.

LyX 2.0 handles multiple indices natively, so having the three
different ones should be simple.

Music (not music theory) books in Lyx

2012-05-17 Thread ski_phreak
I'm looking for suggestions about which document class would be best for
music books--collections of hymns, scores, method/study books, etcetera.  If
one does not exist, then suggestions on creating my own document class would
be greatly appreciated.

I use Lilypond to create the music in PDF, but things get awfully slow
trying to compile more than 30-50 pages.  Although Lilypond does a stellar
job in making beautiful music, it isn't great with indexing, or
table-of-contents.

Lilypond-book and the ability to input Lilypond code into Lyx (or
OpenOffice, for that matter) are great for theory or articles which quote
short musical excerpts...but not quite what I need.  I want MOSTLY music,
with the ability to index the contents, composers, tune names, meters,
lyricists, and subjects of individual pieces of music.

I'm already familiar with Insert - File - External Material for my PDF
music files.  I would prefer for each PDF file to already have the title and
authorship.

So my big challenge is: How should I create non-printing Title, Composer and
Lyricist references for my indexing.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.
