Yes. The default templates that come with OOoLilyPond automatically insert everything you type into a \score block, which causes problems if you are doing more than a little snippet.

 

Use the following as an outline to create your own template and make it your default. You will now have to include a \score { } block in your OOoLiliPond snippet, but it gives you much more flexibility. NOTE: This template is for doing church bulletins or 8-/12x11 folded booklets. Set the paper size and margins to your preferences.

 

\version "2.11.15"

 

\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"

 

\paper {
  #(define dump-extents #t)
  #(set-paper-size "letter")
  paper-height = 8.5\in
  paper-width = 5.5\in
  top-margin = 0.25\in
  bottom-margin = 0.35\in
  left-margin = 0.25\in
  line-width = 4.75\in
%  between-system-padding = 0.5\in
%  between-system-space = 0.25\in
  ragged-last = ##f
  ragged-bottom = ##t
  ragged-right = ##f
% system-count = #1
% print-first-page-number = ##f
% print-page-number = ##t
  oddFooterMarkup = \markup { \fill-line { \hspace #0 { \bold \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string } } }
  evenFooterMarkup = \markup { \fill-line { { \bold \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string } \hspace #0 } }
  oddHeaderMarkup = \markup { \fill-line { \hspace #0 { "" } } }
  evenHeaderMarkup = \markup { \fill-line { { "" } \hspace #0 } }
}

 

global = {
  #(set-global-staff-size 14)
  \override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0.5 . 0.5)
  % \override Lyrics.LyricText #'font-size = #0.0
  % \override Lyrics.LyricText #'word-space = #0.6
  % \override Lyrics.LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #1.0
}

 

% ly snippet contents follows:
c' d' e'
% end ly snippet

OooLilyPond seems to be EXACTLY what I was looking for to write a book on jazz improvisation.

 

I use Window XP and I can get it to insert simple scores in OpenOffice.org such as:

 

\key c \minor \relative c'' { c16 es, d es c es d es c' es, d es c es d es }

 

which is the test given in the sourceforge webpage.

 

However, other scores that are created in LilyPond without problems, such as this one given in the LilyPond tutorial:

 

     \version "2.10.10"
     melody = \relative c' {
        \clef treble
        \key c \major
        \time 4/4
     
        a b c d
     }
     
     text = \lyricmode {
        Aaa Bee Cee Dee
     }
     
     harmonies = \chordmode {
        a2 c2
     }
     
     \score {
        <<
           \new ChordNames {
              \set chordChanges = ##t
              \harmonies
           }
        \new Voice = "one" {
           \autoBeamOff
           \melody
        }
        \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text
        >>
        \layout { }
        \midi { }
     }

get quite a lot of "syntax error"s and "unknown escaped string"s and "unexpected string"s.

 

Does OooLilyPond have a shorter scope than LilyPond?

 

I've tried running both "lilypond.exe" and "lilipon-window.exe" as the executable on "config", with the same results.

 

Thank you!
