Re: lilypond-book and pdf output

Hi Graeme,

could you please post a minimal example of your Tex file and the
lilypond input? lilypond-book "only" puts includegraphics commands
into the new Tex file, but should also create the appropriate .pdf
files to be included with pdflatex.

First some information

Lilypond 2.11 running under Mac OS X 10.4.9 (Intel)

Lilypond installed and running fine. Generating PDF output.

Problem:

Running lilypond-book ok from command line but it
doesn't seem to produce any sensible output. If I
create a new directory (--output) I get a new .tex file,
a snippet-map.ly, a tmpegputv.aux, and a .dep file.
But the new .tex file seems to be the same as the
original file plus an \include{graphics} command.
Running LaTeX or pdfLaTeX on this new .tex gives
me, not surprisingly, an undefined lilypond
environment error. I have reread the documentation
numerous times, googled on the web but can't seem
to get sensible output.

What am I doing wrong?

As I am getting PDF output okay, an alternative is to
create a PDF file with no margins, etc., i.e., just the
right size to contain the music graphic. Are there
any lilypond settings to do this so I can bypass the
lilypond-book command which I need to run via the
terminal?

PS: I have a very extensive backgound in TeX/LaTeX
and my wife has considerable experience in Sibelius.
We are both enjoying trying out Lilypond.
