I have been using lilypond for some time now, much to my satisfaction
and without problems.
Recently, I have also started using LaTex (on TeXShop) and have been
trying to use lilypond-book, without succes.
My problem is really a beginner's one I guess as my experience with
LaTex is limited.
If I use the example given here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/lilypond/An-example-
of-a-musicological-document.html#An-example-of-a-musicological-
document
and simply paste the following into an new empty LaTex document
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphics}
\begin{document}
Documents for @command{lilypond-book} may freely mix music and
text.
For example,
\begin{lilypond}
\relative c' {
c2 g'2 \times 2/3 { f8 e d } c'2 g4
}
\end{lilypond}
Options are put in brackets.
\begin[fragment,quote,staffsize=26,verbatim]{lilypond}
c'4 f16
\end{lilypond}
\end{document}
and click "Typeset LaTex", I get the following error:

--------------------------
Therefore, it's telling me that the lilypond environment is
undefined. Can someone help me here?
Secondly, I happend upon Nicola Vitacolonna's site where she provided
the following information:
Lilypond is a very good music notation software, which can also be
used with LaTeX. Put Lilypond.engine, Lilypond-LaTeX.engine and
convert-ly.engine into your Library/TeXShop/Engines folder to run
lilypond, lilypond-book and convert-ly, respectively, within TeXShop
(you need to remove the .txt suffix, to make the scripts executable
and to customize the LILYPONDFOLDER variable in the above files to
match your Lilypond installation path). Unfortunately,
pointing-and-clicking on a note will open your source file in the
Lilypond application (point-and-click is not compatible with TeXShop).
However, this does not work, as I get the error:
"/Users/peter/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Lilypond-LaTeX.engine does not
have the executable bit set."
Does anyone have experience with the method?
Many thanks,
Peter
