Dear Ed,
thanks for this
suggestion.
I shall try.
However, if this discussion is to be
relevant for current users,
I probably have some catchup to
do.
Since yesterday, I have realized that my version of LilyPond was
"old" (relatively speaking)
because I had installed LilyPond (version
2.16.0) on my computer on Tuesday 18th september 2012
and made experiments
(on the basis of the online documentation)
from time to time, but not
regularly,
with ong interruptions,
wondering whether LilyPond would be
flexible enough for my needs with Indian music (in
transcription).
(discovering the commands "\compoundMeter" was reassuring,
in that respect ...)
I realized that my version of LilyPond was
"old"
because it could not handle commands for tuplets,
contrary to what
the online documentation had led me to expect
("\tuplet 5/4 { g4 aes8 g fis
}" was not recognized by LilyPond 2.16,
although it is quite useful to have
this syntax, for some of the Indian rythms)
I have now installed
LilyPond 2.18,
and will have to see which obstacles have been
removed
for a SMOOTH use of LilyPond,
which is a great
program,
although it takes time to discover every
possibility!
:-)
Cheers

Hi Jean-Luc,
I don't have a true Lilypond answer
but.
Inkscape sets the bounding box default to the drawing-area, so
I gues that you only had to open the svg and save it as eps. If thats true
than you are fine with Inkscape. Did you know that you can use Inkscape on
the command line.
You can add this to to Lilypond batch file to convert
the svg to eps.
*****snippet_eps.bat ********************************
*****************************************************
"C:\Program
Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe" -dbackend=eps
-dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts %1 %2 %3 %4
*************************************
*************************************
"c:\program
files (x86)\inkscape\inkscape.exe" "%~n1.svg"
--export-eps="%~n1.eps"
I had to guess where inkscape is located on
your computer, so make sure this path is correct.
I couldn't test
this, I haven't Lilypond running on Windows.
Greetings,
Ed
