Re: Clickable table of contents

[Svetlana]

Hi!

I have similar task of making a mostly notes and a few of text in my book and 
here is my solution.
1) Process lilypond files with eps backend (lilypond -dbackend=eps 
-dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts myfile.ly) - this gives pdfs (along with 
eps) for every SINGLE page of your scores.
2) use the following code to put generated pdfs to your latex file:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{The title}
\noindent \includegraphics[width=170mm]{myfile.pdf}

This approach saves all advantages vs lilypond-book and has some advantages vs 
pdfpages (I've used it before):
1) Page numbering is done in latex, no need to alter them in each lilypond file.
2) You can include not so full page of notes and add some text after it in 
latex, not in lilypond - so you win much better text formatting options

One big disadvantage of it - I can't use ragged-right scores in my book, they 
all have different widths.

Best wishes, Svetlana.
