Re: Lilypond + LaTeX

[Mats Bengtsson]

As you correctly have observed, lilypond-book does not cake 
between-system-space
or between-system-padding into account when generating the scores. 
Instead, every
score line is included into the LaTeX document as a separate EPS file 
and the only
extra spacing between the lines is the same line spacing as is used in 
the rest of the
document. One solution if you want to increase the spacing, is to define 
the LaTeX
function \betweenLilyPondSystem which is called between each system. See 
the
manual.

Another solution, which works as long as your full score fits on a 
single page,
is to enclose the full score within a \book block, i.e.

\begin {lilypond}

\version "2.10.20"
\book{
 ...
}
\end{lilypond}

If you do that, then the full score will be included into the LaTeX 
document as a
single EPS file, and LilyPond will take the \paper{...} variables into 
account as
usual.
