Re: how to compile all ly-files including subfolders

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Urs,

Yes, a python script would be fine.

Is a Python script an option?

You can surely do what you want with a pure shell script, but Python may be cleaner to read?

Dear Nick,

thanks for Your reply.

But Your command writes the pdf-files to the folder, where  it's executed.

I want the pdf-files in the same folder as the ly-files.

Dear community,

I would like to compile (on a Ubuntu-machine) all ly-files, including those, which are in subfolders.

How can I do this?

cd to the parent folder, and issue the following command:

find . -name '*.ly' -exec lilypond {} \;
