Re: End of file event

[Maurits Lamers]

Hi,

The situation is that I want to write out my statistical info collected during 
the score block processing to an external CSV.
In my case students are given a lilypond file template which they need to use. 
This template contains a single score block in which they need to put their 
work.
However, some students are rather creative, and spread out the same work over 
multiple score blocks. 

It is very unlikely that they will use book for structuring and in the rare 
case that might happen I can always edit it out manually.
So, it looks like wrapping the toplevel-book-handler and adding my own stats 
writing will be exactly what I need.

Thanks a lot!

cheers

Maurits
