Re: Creating marginal comments?
Hi Tapani!
Two problems:
1. I'm producing a hymnal with 100s of entries. To keep things tidy, those
hymns are in separate .ly files, and I then use lilypond-book to compile
them into one document. To embed every music file in a single (massive) .tex
document is not realistic at this stage of the project.
Well, I agree that it is a good idea to keep the hymns in separate files. TeX knows
"\input".
But I do not know how much work would it be to edit your scores. It might be an
easy
automatic process using sed, it might be complicated ...
2. I'm too much of a newbie to understand /how/ your method works. Would you
be able to explain it to me in simple/ish terms, or do I just have to go
away and buy a LaTeX manual and really learn the language properly? OR,
alternatively, can I just insert the \newcount commands into my preamble and
use the \def\callback[etc.] argument in the document?
I prepared a somewhat commented version of hymex.tex. Having a LaTex manual
as well as the TeXbook is always a good idea.

Knut

I don't have everything installed on my system to make this compile correctly, but even then I can see that it works. Two problems: 1. I'm producing a hymnal with 100s of entries. To keep things tidy, those hymns are in separate .ly files, and I then use lilypond-book to compile them into one document.

I may have a wrong perception as to what you mean by "multiple columns".
For my own uses I regularly create scores (and texts) that span multiple columns
and are aligned like a table.
There actually are several ways to do that in lilypond AFAIC.
Which ways would you be referring to? You can’t say
\paper {
columns = 2
}
Also, there is no way in markup to have text automatically flow over
more than one column, it has to be done all manually.

I am producing a hymnal, using Lilypond and lilypond-book with xelatex. I
would like to insert biblical references in the margin of the page, parallel

For example, in "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing", the lyrics "Ris'n with
healing in his wings" would have "Mal. 4:2" in the margin.
In TeX like systems, this is easily done with the \marginnote command.
So do use TeX ;-) Put the attached files in an empty directory, don't forget to
make mkhymex and mypdfcrop
executable, then run ./mkhymex. You'll get an 8-page hymnal book with some
example marginal notes.
Two A5 pages on every side of an A4 sheet, correctly arranged for printing.
hymex.tex is the hymnal example file to be compiled by lualatex or xelatex.
mkhymex is a script to translate hymex.tex to hymexc.pdf.
mypdfcrop is needed because pdfcrop is broken for pdfs without embedded fonts.
Only recent versions of luaLatex and xelatex will work. For lualatex that means
version 0.8x won't work.
hymex.tex requires quire.tex provided by the midnight macro package.
You need a recent lilypond. Recent means very recent. The
"-dgs-never-embed-fonts" must be present.
You need ghostscript. You'll need the current version.

Knut
