+@chapter @command{lilypond-book}: Integrating text and music
+
+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. The pictures are
+created separately, yielding PostScript output or PNG images, and those
+are included into a La@TeX{} or HTML document.
+
+@command{lilypond-book} provides a way to automate this process: This
+program extracts snippets of music from your document, runs
+@command{lilypond} on them, and outputs the document with pictures
+substituted for the music. The line width and font size definitions for
+the music are adjusted to match the layout of your document.
+
+This procedure may be applied to La@TeX{}, HTML or Texinfo documents.

+Some texts contain music examples. These texts are musicological
+treatises, songbooks, or manuals like this. Such texts can be made by
+hand, simply by importing a PostScript figure into the word processor.
+However, there is an automated procedure to reduce the amount of work
+involved in HTML, La@TeX{}, and Texinfo documents.
+
+A script called @code{lilypond-book} will extract the music fragments,

-music samples will match the layout of your document.
-
-Very often, if you mix music and text, the music is only a few
-notes or at most a few bars. This music should be as short as possible
-and not stretched to be aligned to the right margin. lilypond-book does
-this automatically if you don't use a @code{\score} block in

-This enables you to place music examples in the running text (and not in
-a separate paragraph). To avoid that La@TeX{} places the music on a line
-of its own, there should be no empty lines between the normal text and

+@node Music fragment options
+@section Music fragment options
+
+In the following, a ``LilyPond command'' refers to any command described
+in the previous sections which is handled by @command{lilypond-book} to
+produce a music snippet. For simplicity, LilyPond commands are only
+shown in La@TeX{} syntax.
+
+Note that the option string is parsed from left to right; if an option
+occurs multiple times, the last one is taken.
+
+The following options are available for LilyPond commands:
+
+@table @code
+@item staffsize=@var{ht}
+Set staff size to @var{ht}, which is measured in points.
+
+@item raggedright
+Produce ragged-right lines with natural spacing (i.e., @code{raggedright
+= ##t} is added to the LilyPond snippet). This is the default for the
+@code{\lilypond@{@}} command if no @code{linewidth} option is present.
+It is also the default for the @code{lilypond} environment if the
+@code{fragment} option is set, and no line width is explicitly
+specified.
+
+@item packed
+Produce lines with packed spacing (i.e., @code{packed = ##t} is added
+to the LilyPond snippet).
+
+@item linewidth
+@itemx linewidth=@var{size}\@var{unit}
+Set line width to @var{size}, using @var{unit} as units. @var{unit} is
+one of the following strings: @code{cm}, @code{mm}, @code{in}, or
+@code{pt}. This option affects LilyPond output (this is, the staff
+length of the music snippet), not the text layout.
+
+If used without an argument, set line width to a default value (as
+computed with a heuristic algorithm).
+
+If no @code{linewidth} option is given, @command{lilypond-book} tries to
+guess a default for @code{lilypond} environments which don't use the
+@code{raggedright} option.
+
+@item notime
+Do not print the time signature.
+
@item fragment
+Make @command{lilypond-book} add some boilerplate code so that you can
+simply enter, say,
+
+@example
+c'4
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+without @code{\layout}, @code{\score}, etc.
+
@item nofragment
- Override @command{lilypond-book} auto detection of what type of code is in the
- lilypond block, voice contents or complete code.
-@item indent=@var{size}@var{unit}
- Set first line indent to @var{size}, where @var{unit} = cm, mm, in or pt.
+Don't add additional code to complete LilyPond code in music snippets.
+Since this is the default, @code{nofragment} is redundant normally.
+
+@item indent=@var{size}\@var{unit}
+Set indentation of the first music system to @var{size}, using
+@var{unit} as units. @var{unit} is one of the following strings:
+@code{cm}, @code{mm}, @code{in}, or @code{pt}. This option affects
+LilyPond, not the text layout.
+
@item noindent
- Set first line indent to zero.
-@item printfilename
- Prints the file name before the music example. Useful in conjunction
-with @code{\lilypondfile}.
-@item relative, relative @var{N}
- Use relative octave mode. By default, notes are specified relative
- central C. The optional integer argument specifies how many octaves
- higher (positive number) or lower (negative number) to place the
- starting note.
+Set indentation of the first music system to zero. This option affects
+LilyPond, not the text layout. Since no indentation is the default,
+@code{noindent} is redundant normally.
+
+@item quote
+Reduce line length of a music snippet by @math{2*0.4}@dmn{in} and put
+the output into a quotation block. The value `0.4@dmn{in}' can be
+controlled with the @code{exampleindent} option.
+
+@item exampleindent
+Set the amount by which the @code{quote} option indents a music snippet.
+
+@item relative
+@itemx relative=@var{n}
+Use relative octave mode. By default, notes are specified relative to
+middle@tie{}C. The optional integer argument specifies the octave of
+the starting note, where the default @code{1} is middle C.
@end table
-@section Invocation
+LilyPond also uses @command{lilypond-book} to produce its own
+documentation. To do that, some more obscure music fragment options are
+available.
-When you run @command{lilypond-book} it will generate lots of small
-files that Lilypond will process. So to avoid all the garbage in
-your source directory, you should either change to a temporary
-directory, or use the @code{--outdir} command line options:
+@table @code
+@item verbatim
+The argument of a LilyPond command is copied to the output file and
+enclosed in a verbatim block, followed by any text given with the
+@code{intertext} option (not implemented yet); then the actual music is
+displayed. This option does not work well with @code{\lilypond@{@}} if
+it is part of a paragraph.
+
+@item texidoc
+(Only for Texinfo output.) If @command{lilypond} is called with the
+@option{--header=@/texidoc} option, and the file to be processed is
+called @file{foo@/.ly}, it creates a file @file{foo@/.texidoc} if there
+is a @code{texidoc} field in the @code{\header}. The @code{texidoc}
+option makes @command{lilypond-book} include such files, adding its
+contents as a documentation block right before the music snippet.
+
+Assuming the file @file{foo@/.ly} contains
-@code{cd out && lilypond-book ../yourfile.tex}
+@example
+\header @{
+ texidoc = "This file demonstrates a single note."
+@}
+@{ c'4 @}
+@end example
-@code{lilypond-book --outdir=out yourfile.tex}
+@noindent
+and we have this in our Texinfo document @file{test.texinfo}
+@example
+@@lilypondfile[texidoc]@{foo.ly@}
+@end example
-For latex input, the file to give to latex has extension @file{.latex}.
-Texinfo input will be written to a file with extension @file{.texi}.
+@noindent
+the following command line gives the expected result
-If you use @code{--outdir}, you should also @code{cd} to that directory
-before running LaTeX or makeinfo. This may seem a little kludgey, but
-both Latex and makeinfo expect picture files (the music) to be in the
-current working directory. Moreover, if you do this, LaTeX will not
-clutter you normal working directory with output files.
+@example
+lilypond-book --process="lilypond --format=tex --tex \
+ --header=texidoc test.texinfo
+@end example
-@cindex titling and lilypond-book
-@cindex lilypond-book and titling
-@cindex \header in LaTeX documents
+Most LilyPond test documents (in the @file{input} directory of the
+distribution) are small @file{.ly} files which look exactly like this.
+
+@item printfilename
+If a LilyPond input file is included with @code{\lilypondfile}, print
+the file name right before the music snippet. For HTML output, this is
+a link.
+
+@item fontload
+This option includes fonts in all of the generated EPS-files for this
+snippet. This should be used if the snippet uses any font that LaTeX
+cannot find on its own.

- @command{lilypond-book} usually figure this out automatically.
-@item --default-music-fontsize=@var{sz}pt
- Set the fontsize to use for lilypond if no fontsize is given
- as option.
-@item --force-music-fontsize=@var{sz}pt
- Force all lilypond to use this fontsize, overriding options
- given to @code{\begin@{lilypond@}}
-@item -I @var{DIR}, --include=@var{DIR}
- Add @var{DIR} to the include path.
-@item -M, --dependencies
- Write dependencies to @file{filename.dep}
-@item --dep-prefix=@code{PREF}
- prepend @code{PREF} before each @code{-M} dependency
-@item -n, --no-lily
- don't run lilypond, but do generate the @code{.ly} files
-@item --no-music
- strip all lilypond blocks from the file.
-@item --no-pictures
- don't generate pictures when processing Texinfo.
-@item --read-lys
- don't write ly files. This way you can do
+@item -f @var{format}
+@itemx --format=@var{format}
+Specify the document type to process: @code{html}, @code{latex}, or
+@code{texi} (the default). If this option is missing,
+@command{lilypond-book} tries to detect the format automatically.
+
+The @code{texi} document type produces a Texinfo file with music
+fragments in the DVI output only. For getting images in the HTML
+version, the format @code{texi-html} must be used instead.
+
+[Note: Currently, @code{texi} is the same as @code{texi-html}.]
+
+@item -F @var{filter}
+@itemx --filter=@var{filter}
+Pipe snippets through @var{filter}.
+
+Example:
@example
- lilypond-book file.tely
- convert-ly
- lilypond-book --read-lys
+lilypond-book --filter='convert-ly --from=2.0.0' my-book.tely
@end example
-[TODO not a useful option unless you can undump the input file]
-
-@item --outname=@var{FILE}
- The name of La@TeX{} file to output. If this option is not given,
- the output name is derived from the input name.
-@item --outdir=@var{DIR}
- place generated files in @var{DIR}.
-@item --version
- print version information
-@item --help
- Print a short help message
-@end table
+@item -h
+@itemx --help
+Print a short help message.
+@item -I @var{dir}
+@itemx --include=@var{dir}
+Add @var{dir} to the include path.
-@section Bugs
-
-The La@TeX{} \includeonly@{...@} command is ignored.
+@item -o @var{dir}
+@itemx --output=@var{dir}
+Place generated files in directory @var{dir}. Running
+@command{lilypond-book} generates lots of small files that LilyPond will
+process. To avoid all that garbage in the source directory use the
+@option{--output} command line option, and change to that directory
+before running @command{latex} or @command{makeinfo}:
-The Texinfo command @code{pagesize} is on the TODO list for Lilypond
-1.6, but changing the linewidth in other ways will not give you a
-straight right margin.
+@example
+lilypond-book --output=out yourfile.lytex
+cd out
+...
+@end example
+
+@item -P @var{process}
+@itemx --process=@var{command}
+Process LilyPond snippets using @var{command}. The default command is
+@code{lilypond}.
-Almost all La@TeX{} commands that change margins and line widths are
-ignored.
+@item -V
+@itemx --verbose
+Be verbose.
+
+@item -v
+@itemx --version
+Print version information.
+@end table
-There is no way to automatically apply convert-ly to fragments inside a
-lilypond-book file.
+@refbugs
+
+The Texinfo command @code{@@pagesizes} is not interpreted. Similarly,
+La@TeX{} commands that change margins and line widths after the preamble
+are ignored.
+
+Only the first @code{\score} of a LilyPond block is processed.
+
+@c CHECKME--FIXME
+The size of a music block is limited to 1.5 KB, due to technical
+problems with the Python regular expression engine. For longer files,
+use @code{\lilypondfile}.
+
+
+@node Filename extensions
+@section Filename extensions
+
+You can use any filename extension for the input file, but if you do not
+use the recommended extension for a particular format you may need to
+manually specify the output format. @xref{Invoking lilypond-book}, for
+details. Otherwise, @command{lilypond-book} automatically selects the
+output format based on the input filename's extension.
