-
-Nicely titled output is created through a separate program:
-@file{@code{lilypond}} is a script that uses the LilyPond formatting
-engine (which is in a separate program) and La@TeX{} to create a
-nicely titled piece of sheet music, in PDF (Portable Document Format)
-format.
-
-@example
- @code{lilypond} [@var{option}]@dots{} @var{file}@dots{}
-@end example
-
-To have @code{lilypond} read from stdin, use a dash @code{-} for @var{file}.
-
-The @code{lilypond} program supports the following options:
-
-@table @code
-@item -k,--keep
- Keep the temporary directory with all output
-files. The temporary directory is created in the current directory as @code{@code{lilypond}.dir}.
-@item -d,--dependencies
- Write @code{Makefile} dependencies for every input file.
-@item -h,--help
- Print usage help.
-@item -I,--include=@var{dir}
- Add @var{dir} to LilyPond's include path.
-@item -m,--no-paper
- Produce MIDI output only.
-@item --no-lily
- Do not run @file{lilypond-bin}. Useful for debugging @code{lilypond}.
-@item -o,--output=@var{file}
- Generate output to @var{file}. The extension of @var{file} is ignored.
-@item --no-pdf
- Do not generate (PDF) or PS.

- If you use lilypond-book or your own wrapper files, do not use
-@code{\usepackage[[T1]@{fontenc@}} in the file header but do not forget
-@code{\usepackage[latin1]@{inputenc@}} if you use any other
-non-anglosaxian characters.
-
-@item --png
- Also generate pictures of each page, in PNG format.
-@item --psgz
- Gzip the postscript file.
-@item --html
- Make a .HTML file with links to all output files.
-@item --preview
- Also generate a picture of the first system of the score.

-
-@item -s,--set=@var{key}=@var{val}
- Add @var{key}= @var{val} to the settings, overriding those specified
-in the files. Possible keys: @code{language}, @code{latexheaders},
-@code{latexpackages}, @code{latexoptions}, @code{papersize},
-@code{pagenumber}, @code{linewidth}, @code{orientation},
-@code{textheight}.
-@item -v,--version
-Show version information.
-@item -V,--verbose
-Be verbose. This prints out commands as they are executed, and more
-information about the formatting process is printed.
-@item --debug
-Print even more information. This is useful when generating bugreports.
-@item -w,--warranty
-Show the warranty with which GNU LilyPond comes. (It comes with
-@strong{NO WARRANTY}!)

-@subsection Titling layout
-
-@code{lilypond} extracts the following header fields from the LY files
-to generate titling; an example demonstrating all these fields is in
-@inputfileref{input/test,lilypond-testpage.ly}:
-
-@table @code
-@item title
- The title of the music. Centered on top of the first page.
-@item subtitle
- Subtitle, centered below the title.
-@item poet
- Name of the poet, left flushed below the subtitle.
-@item composer
- Name of the composer, right flushed below the subtitle.
-@item meter
- Meter string, left flushed below the poet.
-@item opus
- Name of the opus, right flushed below the composer.
-@item arranger
- Name of the arranger, right flushed below the opus.
-@item instrument
- Name of the instrument, centered below the arranger.
-@item dedication
- To whom the piece is dedicated.
-@item piece
- Name of the piece, left flushed below the instrument.
-@item head
- A text to print in the header of all pages. It is not called
-@code{header}, because @code{\header} is a reserved word in LilyPond.
-@item copyright
- A text to print in the footer of the first page. Default is to
- print the standard footer also on the first page. Note that if the
- score consists of only a single page, the first page is also the
- last page, and in this case, the tagline is printed instead of the
- copyright.
-@item footer
- A text to print in the footer of all but the last page.
-@item tagline
- Line to print at the bottom of last page. The default text is ``Engraved
-by LilyPond @var{version-number}''.

-@subsection Additional parameters
-
-The @code{lilypond} program responds to several parameters specified
-in a @code{\paper} section of the input file. They can be overridden
-by supplying a @code{--set} command line option.
-
-@table @code
-@item language
- Specify La@TeX{} language: the @code{babel} package will be
-included. Default: unset.
-
- Read from the @code{\header} block.
-
-@item latexheaders
- Specify additional La@TeX{} headers file.
-
- Normally read from the @code{\header} block. Default value: empty.
-
-@item latexpackages
- Specify additional La@TeX{} packages file. This works cumulative,
-so you can add multiple packages using multiple @code{-s=latexpackages} options.
- Normally read from the @code{\header} block. Default value:
-@code{geometry}.
-
-@item latexoptions
- Specify additional options for the La@TeX{}
-@code{\documentclass}. You can put any valid value here. This was
-designed to allow @code{lilypond} to produce output for double-sided
-paper, with balanced margins and pagenumbers on alternating sides. To
-achieve this specify @code{twoside}.
-
-@item orientation
- Set orientation. Choices are @code{portrait} or @code{landscape}. Is
-read from the @code{\paper} block, if set.
-
-@item textheight
- The vertical extension of the music on the page. It is normally
- calculated automatically, based on the paper size.
-
-@item linewidth
- The music line width. It is normally read from the @code{\paper}
-block.
-
-@item papersize
- The paper size (as a name, e.g. @code{a4}). It is normally read from
-the @code{\paper} block.
-
-@item pagenumber
- If set to @code{no}, no page numbers will be printed. If set to a
-positive integer, start with this value as the first page number.
-
-
- @item fontenc
- The font encoding, should be set identical to the @code{font-encoding}
- property in the score.
