[XeTeX] Lilypond + XeLaTeX

[Rembrandt Wolpert]

Hello Father Michael,

Lilypond-book and xelatex work very well together when using a terminal:
Lilypond-book wants to write to a directory other than the original
directory (let's call it OUT) so as not to overwrite the original .tex file.

As a starter:
If you put your headers into a small file such as try-header.tex below, and
your text (with the lilypond-code) in a file like the try.tex below (that
"document" file is included as \input{try.tex} in the try-header.tex), you
should do the following (a script-generated Makefile can automate all that
for you):

mkdir OUT
lilypond-book --out OUT --pdf try-header.tex
cd OUT
xelatex  -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -q -E" try-header.tex
cp try-header.tex ../try.tex
cd ..

You should now have a file try.pdf in the directory you work in (and you
started out), and you can delete everything in the OUT file (and remove the
OUT directory - if you leave it, lilypond-book will recognise the changes
you make, and only compile what has changed. But OUT tends to get rather
big...).

Obviously, the whole thing can be done with a script that does all the work
for you. Feel free to ask me directly for a sample shell-script if you need
some help there.

% try-header.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xunicode,fontspec,xltxtra}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\setsansfont{Gentium}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\input{try.tex}

%try.tex
\begin{document}
\title{A short document with LilyPond and xelatex}
\maketitle
Normal \textbf{font} commands inside the \emph{text} work,
because they \textsf{are supported by \LaTeX{} and XeteX.}
If you want to use specific commands like \verb+\XeTeX+, you
should include them again in a \verb+\ifxetex+ environment.
You can use this to print the \XeLaTeX{} which is not known to normal \LaTeX
.
In normal text you can easily use LilyPond commands, like this:
\begin{lilypond}
{a2 b c'8 c' c' c'}
\end{lilypond}
\noindent
and so on.
The fonts of snippets set with LilyPond will have to be set from
inside
of the snippet. For this you should read the AU on how to use
lilypond-book.
