Re: lilypond in a latex document

[Mats Bengtsson]

The intension is that you should be able to use something like:

Some text followed by some music
\lilypond[fragment]{<c' e' g'>}
followed by more text.

However, I have just reported a couple of bugs related to this use
of lilypond-book. The main problem is that the music example won't
allocate any horizontal space, so it's overwritten by the text
following it. Hopefully this will be solved soon.
In the mean time, you can use the stable version 2.2.6, where
lilypond-book works better. Still, you have to make sure that
you let the \lilypond{...} command start a new line in the
input file.
