25 ly2dvi is a shell script which creates input file for LaTeX,
26 based on information from the output files from lilypond.
27 The script handles multiple files. If a mudela file name is
28 specified lilypond is run to make an output (TeX) file.
30 One or more LaTeX files are created, based on information found
31 in the output (TeX) files, and latex is finally run to create
32 one or more DVI files.
