Re: Generating LaTeX output

[Mats Bengtsson]

Reading your question again, I realize that I was maybe too
patronizing in my answer. If you process the file with lilypond-bin
without any extra flags, you will get a file that can be processed
by LaTeX. However, I'm not sure why you would want such a file.
If you want to include it in another LaTeX document, you should
definitely take a look at the program lilypond-book, which lets
you include music scores within a LaTeX document, either with
inline LilyPond code or by refering to a separate file.
