Hi,

just wondering... why open office for DTP... It's a word-processor, not a DTP program.Use scribus instead, has renderframes that generate lilypond code, hell you can even write lilypond coded within scribus itself, and tex and pov...

grtz,
Bart

I took a look at both the resulting PDF and the resulting odt file on
their webpage.  If you zoom the files, you'll see staircased graphics
and texts.

In short: again there is a conversion into bitmaps involved that
apparently makes the output resolution dependent.  As an intermediary
for pulling into a DTP, this is not good.

So currently I don't see a reasonably working and obvious (let alone
automatic) way for creating a full-quality DOC file from lilypond-book
(or just Lilypond) sources using free software.  Perhaps a lilypond-book
backend working in conjunction with latex2rtf or other contraptions
might be a good idea.
