Scaling Lilypond files in LyX
Hello LyX users. What an excellent software LyX is, once it gets used to you. However, when I try to insert a Lilypond file via Insert-File-External Material, the Size and Rotation tab is grayed out. Furthermore, clicking the LaTex and LyX options tab, the Scale on Screen box is grayed out as well. That's too bad, because my music will not fit on the page if not scaled down. Are these features not yet available or ...? Richard Opheim

By the way LyX 2.0 will include the possibility to enter the lilypond code directly and process the document through lilypond-book. It might be the case that you prefer external .ly files, in which case this doesn't help. Cheers, Julien
