Re: Feta symbols in latex

[Mats Bengtsson]

One solution is to exploit lilypond-book, i.e. to include a short "score"
that contains only the symbol you want to see. For example, to just include
a single note, you can do

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
This is a document with a
\begin[notime,fragment]{lilypond}
 \new Staff \with{\remove "Clef_engraver" \remove 
"Staff_symbol_engraver"}{ c'}
\end{lilypond}
symbol in it.

\end{document}

The most convenient solution for you, would have been if such a short score
could contain just a simple \markup{...} expression, just as an .ly file 
can.
However, it seems that the resulting inserted .eps file will have lots 
of white
space around the actual markup, so it will end up on a page of its own 
in the
document.


A second alternative, along the lines of what you have tried so far, is to
install the LilyPond fonts so that they are accessible from your TeX
installation. For MikTeX, I think it should suffice to start MikTeX
Options, click on "Roots" and then on "Add" and then select the folder
C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current\
and finally press "Refresh FNDB". One nice feature of this solution is
that it will automatically keep up to date once you upgrade LilyPond
(I hope you remember to remove that files you have installed directly
into your localtemx earlier). However, you should not expect the file
feta20.tex to be present i all future releases (maybe not even in the 
current).
