Integrating text and music with lilypond-book

If you want to add pictures of music to a document, you can simply do it the way you would do with other types of pictures. You write LilyPond code, process it separately to embedded PostScript or png, and include it as a picture into your LaTeX or html source.

lilypond-book provides you with a way to automate this process: This program extracts snippets of music from your document, runs LilyPond on them, and substitutes the resulting pictures back. The line width and font size definitions for the music are adjusted to match the layout of your document.

It can work on LaTeX, html or texinfo documents. A tutorial on using lilypond-book is in Integrating text and music.
