Re: Using tag from command line?

[Mats Bengtsson]

I don't think there's any such option for the lilypond script,
but the lilypond-bin program has an option -e that lets you
run some Scheme code. However, I'm not sure if it works anymore,
if you follow the instructions in 'lilypond-bin --help' to get
more help on the -e flag, you get an error.

You just did it! However, it's even better to send such requests to
address@hidden (I forward this letter to that address, since
I found the bug in -e above).
