-Before LilyPond 2.4, the @code{lilypond} program only generated music
-notation. Titles and page layout was done in a separate wrapper
-program. For compatibility with older files, this wrapper program has
-been retained as @code{lilypond-latex}. It uses the LilyPond program
-and La@TeX{} to create a nicely titled piece of sheet music. Use of
-this program is only necessary if the input file contains special
-La@TeX{} options or formatting codes in markup texts.
-
-The @code{lilypond-latex} wrapper is invoked from the command-line as
-follows
-@example
-@code{lilypond-latex} [@var{option}]@dots{} @var{file}@dots{}
-@end example
-
-To have @code{lilypond-latex} read from stdin, use a dash (@code{-}) for
-@var{file}. The program supports the following options.
-
-@cindex stdin, reading
-
-@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 -h,--help
-Print usage help.
-
-@item -I,--include=@var{dir}
-Add @var{dir} to LilyPond's include path.
-
-@item -o,--output=@var{file}
-Generate output to @var{file}. The extension of @var{file} is ignored.
-
-@item --png
-Also generate pictures of each page, in PNG format.
-
-@item --preview
-Also generate a picture of the first system of the score.
-
-@cindex preview
-@cindex picture
-@cindex bitmap
-@cindex pixmap
-@cindex thumbnail
-@cindex screen shot
-
-@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{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 bug reports.
-
-@item -w,--warranty
-Show the warranty with which GNU LilyPond comes. (It comes with
-@strong{NO WARRANTY}!)

-@subsection Additional parameters
-
-The @code{lilypond} program responds to several parameters specified
-in a @code{\layout} 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{} header files.
-Normally read from the @code{\header} block. Default value: empty.
-
-@item latexpackages
-Specify additional La@TeX{} package files. 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 page numbers 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{\layout} 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{\layout}
-block.
-
-@item papersize
-The paper size (as a name, e.g., @code{a4}). It is normally read from
-the @code{\layout} block.
-
-@item fontenc
-The font encoding, should be set identical to the @code{font-encoding}
-property in the score.
