@node Invoking lilypond
GUILE is not reset after processing a @code{.ly} file, so be careful
not to change any system defaults from within Scheme.}
+In addition, the value of @code{output-suffix} will be inserted between
+the basename and the number. An input file containing
+
+@example
+#(define output-suffix "violin")
+\book @{ @dots{} @}
+#(define output-suffix "cello")
+\book @{ @dots{} @}
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+will output @var{base}@file{-violin.ps} and
+@var{base}@file{-cello-1.ps}.

@subsection Command line options
Example: @code{lilypond -fpng filename.ly}
-@item -b,--backend=@var{format}
+
+
+@item -d,--define-default=@var{var}=@var{val}
+This sets the internal program option @var{var} to the Scheme value
+@var{val}. If @var{val} is not supplied, then @var{#t} is used. To
+switch off an option, @code{no-} may be prefixed to @var{var}, e.g.
+
+@cindex point and click, command line
+
+@example
+-dno-point-and-click
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+is the same as
+@example
+-dpoint-and-click='#f'
+@end example
+
+Here are a few interesting options.
+
+@table @samp
+@item help
+Running @code{lilypond -dhelp} will print all of the @code{-d} options
+available.
+
+@item paper-size
+This option sets the default paper-size,
+@example
+-dpaper-size=\"letter\"
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+Note that the string must be enclosed in escaped quotes ( @code{\"} ).
+
+
+@item safe
+Do not trust the @code{.ly} input.
+
+When LilyPond formatting is available through a web server, either the
+@code{--safe} or the @code{--jail} option @b{MUST} be passed. The
+@code{--safe} option will prevent inline Scheme code from wreaking
+havoc, for example
+
+@quotation
+@verbatim
+#(system "rm -rf /")
+{
+ c4^#(ly:export (ly:gulp-file "/etc/passwd"))
+}
+@end verbatim
+@end quotation
+
+The @code{-dsafe} option works by evaluating in-line Scheme
+expressions in a special safe module. This safe module is derived from
+GUILE @file{safe-r5rs} module, but adds a number of functions of the
+LilyPond API. These functions are listed in @file{scm/@/safe@/-lily@/.scm}.
+
+In addition, safe mode disallows @code{\include} directives and
+disables the use of backslashes in @TeX{} strings.
+
+In safe mode, it is not possible to import LilyPond variables
+into Scheme.
+
+safe does @emph{not} detect resource overuse. It is still possible to
+make the program hang indefinitely, for example by feeding cyclic data
+structures into the backend. Therefore, if using LilyPond on a
+publicly accessible webserver, the process should be limited in both
+CPU and memory usage.
+
+The safe mode will prevent many useful LilyPond snippets from being
+compiled. The @code{--jail} is a more secure alternative, but
+requires more work to set up.
+
+@item backend
the output format to use for the back-end. Choices for @code{format} are
@table @code
@item tex
@cindex Scheme dump
@end table
-Example: @code{lilypond -bsvg filename.ly}
+Example: @code{lilypond -dbackend=svg filename.ly}
@cindex output format, setting
-@item -d,--define-default=@var{var}=@var{val}
-This sets the internal program option @var{var} to the Scheme value
-@var{val}. If @var{val} is not supplied, then @var{#t} is used. To
-switch off an option, @code{no-} may be prefixed to @var{var}, e.g.
-
-@cindex point and click, command line
-
-@example
--dno-point-and-click
-@end example
+@item preview
+Generate an output file containing the titles and the first system
-@noindent
-is the same as
-@example
--dpoint-and-click='#f'
-@end example
+@item print-pages
+Generate the full pages, the default. @code{-dno-print-pages} is
+useful in combination with @code{-dpreview}.
-Another notable option is
+@end table
-@example
--dpaper-size=\"letter\"
-@end example
-@noindent
-Note that the string must be enclosed in escaped quotes ( @code{\"} ).
-
-Setting the @code{-dhelp} option will print a summary of the options
-available, and exit.
@item -h,--help
Show a summary of usage.
@item --dvi
Generate DVI files. In this case, the @TeX{} backend should be
-specified, i.e., @code{-b tex}.
+specified, i.e., @code{-dbackend=tex}.
@item --png
Generate pictures of each page, in PNG format. This implies
@item --pdf
Generate PDF. This implies @code{--ps}.
-@item --preview
-Generate an output file containing the titles and the first system
-
-@item --no-pages
-Do not generate the full pages. Useful in combination with
-@code{--preview}.
-
-@item -s,--safe
-Do not trust the @code{.ly} input.

+@cindex LILYPOND_DATADIR
@code{Lilypond} recognizes the following environment variables:
@table @code
-@item LILYPONDPREFIX
+@item LILYPOND_DATADIR
This specifies a directory where locale messages and
data files will be looked up by default. The directory should contain
subdirectories called @file{ly/}, @file{ps/}, @file{tex/}, etc.

-@node Notes for the MacOS X app
-@section Notes for the MacOS X app
-
-The scripts (such as lilypond-book, convert-ly, abc2ly, and even
-lilypond itself) are also
-included inside MacOS X .app. They can be run from the command line by
-invoking them directly, e.g.
-
-@example
-@var{path/to}/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-The same is true of the other scripts in that directory, including
-lilypond-book, convert-ly, abc2ly, etc.
-
-Alternatively, you may create scripts which add the path
-automatically. Create a directory to store these scripts,
-
-@example
-mkdir -p ~/bin
-cd ~/bin
-@end example
-
-Create a file called @code{lilypond} which contains
-
-@example
-exec @var{path/to}/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@@"
-@end example
-
-Create similar files @code{lilypond-book}, @code{convert-ly}, and
-any other helper programs you use (@code{abc2ly}, @code{midi2ly},
-etc). Simply replace the @code{bin/lilypond} with
-@code{bin/convert-ly} (or other program name) in the above file.
-
-Make the file executable,
-
-@example
-chmod u+x lilypond
-@end example
-
-Now, add this directory to your path. Modify (or create)
-a file called @code{.profile} in your home directory such that it contains
-
-@example
-export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-This file should end with a blank line.
-
-Note that @var{path/to} will generally be @code{/Applications/}.

-@item LilyPondTool
-
-Created as a plugin for the @uref{http://@/www@/.jedit@/.org@/,jEdit} text
-editor, LilyPondTool is the most feature-rich text-based tool for editing
-LilyPond scores. Its features include a Document Wizard with lyrics
-support to set up documents easier, and embedded PDF viewer with advanced
-point-and-click support. For screenshots, demos and installation
-instructions, visit @uref{http://lilypondtool@/.organum@/.hu}
-
-@end table
-
-All these editors can be made to jump into the input file to the source
-of a symbol in the graphical output. See @ref{Point and click}.
-
-
-@node Point and click
-@section Point and click
-@cindex point and click
-
-
-Point and click lets you find notes in the input by clicking on them
-in the PDF viewer. This makes it easier to find input that causes
-some error in the sheet music.
-
-When this functionality is active, LilyPond adds hyperlinks to the PDF
-file. These hyperlinks are sent to the web-browser, which opens a
-text-editor with the cursor in the right place.
-
-To make this chain work, you should configure your PDF viewer to
-follow hyperlinks using the @file{lilypond-invoke-editor} script
-supplied with LilyPond.
-
-For Xpdf on Unix, the following should be present in
-@file{xpdfrc}@footnote{On unix, this file is found either in
-@file{/etc/xpdfrc} or as @file{.xpdfrc} in your home directory.}
-
-@example
-urlCommand "lilypond-invoke-editor %s"
-@end example
-
-The program @file{lilypond-invoke-editor} is a small helper
-program. It will invoke an editor for the special @code{textedit}
-URIs, and run a web browser for others. It tests the environment
-variable @code{EDITOR} for the following patterns,
-
-@table @code
-@item emacs
- this will invoke
-@example
-emacsclient --no-wait +@var{line}:@var{column} @var{file}
-@end example
-@item vim
- this will invoke
-@example
-gvim --remote +:@var{line}:norm@var{char} @var{file}
-@end example
-
-@item nedit
-this will invoke
-@example
- nc -noask +@var{line} @var{file}'
-@end example
-@end table
-
-The environment variable @code{LYEDITOR} is used to override this. It
-contains the command line to start the editor, where @code{%(file)s},
-@code{%(column)s}, @code{%(line)s} is replaced with the file, column
-and line respectively. The setting
-
-@example
-emacsclient --no-wait +%(line)s:%(column)s %(file)s
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-for @code{LYEDITOR} is equivalent to the standard emacsclient
-invocation.
-
-
-@cindex file size, output
-
-The point and click links enlarge the output files significantly. For
-reducing the size of PDF and PS files, point and click may be switched
-off by issuing
-
-@example
-#(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f)
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-in a @file{.ly} file. Alternately, you may pass this as an command-line
-option
-
-@example
-lilypond -dno-point-and-click file.ly
-@end example
