Lilypond-book test

[Dr . Raphael D . Thöne]

Hi Everyone,

as a newbie to lilypond, I read workflow for integrating Lilybond-book into LaTeX which is outlined in the documentation:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/usage/an-example-of-a-musicological-document

I typed the testfile, saved it in a separate folder, but on my mac, I get the following message (Terminal)

Raphi:~ raphaelthoene$ cd lily

Raphi:lily raphaelthoene$ lilypond-book --output=out --pdf lilybook.lytex

-bash: lilypond-book: command not found

Raphi:lily raphaelthoene$ lilypond-book --output=out --pdf lilybook.lytex

-bash: lilypond-book: command not found

Raphi:lily raphaelthoene$ 

Apparently, I haven’t installed the lilypond-package, although Lilypond is working on my machine. Where do I get the lilypond-book-package and how do I install it (sudo)?

Or does it have something to do with the following info?

Note: If you are happy with the GUI instructions below, then please ignore these instructions.

MacOS X on the command line

The most convenient way to run lilypond scripts is by setting up “helper” scripts of your own.

1. Create a directory to store these scripts,

   mkdir -p ~/bin
   cd ~/bin
   

2. Create a file called lilypond which contains

   #!/bin/bash
   exec DIR/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@"
   

   Note: DIR will generally be /Applications/
3. Create similar files lilypond-book, convert-ly, and any other scripts you wish to use, by replacing the bin/lilypond with bin/convert-ly (or other program name).
4. Make the file executable,

   chmod u+x lilypond
   

5. Now, add this directory to your path. Modify (or create) a file called .profile in your home directory such that it contains

   export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
   

   This file should end with a blank line.

Invoking individual scripts

The scripts — such as lilypond-book, convert-ly, abc2ly, and even lilyponditself — are included inside the .app file for MacOS X.

Scripts can also be run from the command line by invoking them directly:

path/to/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond

The same is true for all other scripts in that directory, such as lilypond-book and convert-ly.

Is there an easier way, e.g. to integrate lilypond-book directly into TeXMaker?

Thanks for your help,

Raphael.
