Re: lilypond-book

[Mats Bengtsson]

Of course, I should have cross-posted already the previous email to
bug-lilypond.

I just came to think of yet another possible solution, namely to
mimic the \verb command in LaTeX and let the user himself find a
character to use as start and end of the example that's not included
in the LilyPond snippet. Simply take the first character after
\lilypond as the delimiter. Examples that would work then:
\lilypond+\relative c'{c d e f}+
\lilypond' c^+ d e f '
\lilypond{c d e f{

Of course, the final example looks ridiculous, but it's kind of logical
anyway, once you've grasped the main idea.
