Re: Help with systemSeparatorMarkup in Latex

[Daniel Tonda]

That works at first!

I tried a couple of definitions for the command:
\def\betweenLilyPondSystem#1{\\[10pt]} %% Very nice it avoids the eps to be kind of squashed and leaves more space

and

\def\betweenLilyPondSystem#1{\textbf{\Large{//}}\\[10pt]} %% Still has to be worked out though.

This is as close as I can get to a system separator, but it puts it after every eps file, It is much better though. Now I only have to find a way for the command to put it only after a number of systems have been inserted. 

It seems to consider most of the header fields as different systems. So after the composer field there's a system separator, etc. 

This has been most helpful and will require some studying.

Thanks!

As you may have noticed, the system separators is not the only thing
that's not included when you use lilypond-book. Also such aspects as the
spacing between the systems is lost. The reason is that every system is
typeset as a separate .eps file, which LaTeX treats as a separate figure.
Of course, the reason is that LaTeX should take care of the page breaking,
but there are also clear disadvantages as you have noticed.

What you can do is to define the LaTeX command \betweenLilyPondSystem
to do whatever you prefer, for example to print a system separator. I don't
have any good suggestion for what LaTeX symbol to use, for the moment,
though.
