> Hi,

> I'm an occasional user of Lilypond and so far, I've created only smaller
> examples. I'm neither an experienced user with Latex, so bare with me.
>
> I'm trying to use Lilypond-book (v.2.14.2) with TeXShop (v2.43) on Mac OS X
> (v10.7.3).
> The installation worked and I can run a small test-file:
> 1. I create a myfile.lytex in TexShop
> 2. I can run lilypond-book from the command line
> 3. I open the ./out/myfile.tex in TexShop and do the typesetting as I usually
> would for a Latex file.
>
> Sofar, myfile.lytex only calls lilypond-files with snippets.

> Here are my first questions (sure more to follow…):
> A. – I'm trying to simplify the usage. Ideally, I'd like to do the three
> steps mentioned above in one call to the "typeset"-command in TeXShop. Is
> there a way to do this?
> – One reason I'd like to do this: When I change only some text in .lytex and
> run lilypond-book, the file ./out/myfile.tex does not get updated because all
> the lilypond-snippets are up to date. Any remedy to that in the command-line
> usage of lilypond-book?
>
> B. Layout question:
> One of the files that I include has no page-size indications. It's basically
> a big StaffGroup and the width fits on a A4 page with no problem.
> When I include the same file within a .lytex file, it does not fit anymore;
> the StaffGroup gets cut in the middle and is spread on 2 pages width.
