@code{Makefile} that defines what files depend on what others and what
commands you need to give the operating system to produce one file from
another. For example the makefile would spell out how to produce
-@code{ballad.pdf} and @code{ballad.midi} from @code{ballad.ly} by
+@file{ballad.pdf} and @file{ballad.midi} from @file{ballad.ly} by
running Lilypond.
There are times when it is a good idea to create a @code{Makefile}
can do.
The commands to define rules in a makefile differ
-according to platform; for instance the various forms of Linux and
+according to platform; for instance the various forms of GNU/Linux and
MacOS use @code{bash}, while Windows uses @code{cmd}. Note that on
MacOS X, you need to configure the system to use the command-line
interpreter. Here are some example makefiles, with versions for both
-Linux/MacOS and Windows.
+GNU/Linux/MacOS and Windows.
The first example is for an orchestral work in four
movements with a directory structure as follows:
`-- symphonyDefs.ily
@end example
-The @code{.ly} files in the @code{Scores} and
-@code{Parts} directories get their notes from @code{.ily}
-files in the @code{Notes} directory:
+The @file{.ly} files in the @file{Scores} and
+@file{Parts} directories get their notes from @file{.ily}
+files in the @file{Notes} directory:
@example
%%% top of file "symphony-cello.ly"
-\include ../definitions.ily
