Re: [Mutopia-discuss] Help with Lilypond

Hi Huw

I'm CCing lilypond-user because you'll probably get more help from there

Dear All,

I have been using Lilypond to transcribe various pieces of music for
Mutopia for 2 or 3 years now, but have not yet uploaded anything to
Mutopia. I am very happy with typing in the notes, clefs, time
signatures etc. but I struggle to know how to produce a complete
assembled document with page numbers, cover, text etc.

As an example of what I mean, I have produced a set of six viola/
violin duets by Benjamin Blake. I have them as multiple files (- viola
file, violin file, score file) for each duet.

I would like to be able to combine them elegantly into a book.  I
think I may have started in the wrong way and perhaps should have
understood more about possible file structures before I started.
I do not understand how, or if,  Lilypond can combine files together
to produce a single output.

Yes, you can: search \include in the documentation. \include is the same as pasting the content of the file in the point you use it.

You should have a good understanding of file structure.

If you can provide a minimal example or a link to the files you've written, we'll be able to help you.

Anyway, this is the relevant part of the documentation:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/input-structure

 

Is there any way / anywhere I can get face-to-face training or help
with this in particular and with Lilypond in general?

I live in Cambridge, UK.

Maybe someone from lilypond-user lives there...
