RE: LilyPond and OpenDocument

[Kress, Stephen]

Is there a reason you can't use

    lilypond --backend=eps myfile.ly

?  This should create an EPS file which OO knows how to import.  If you want the ability to edit what LP puts out, this won't give you what you need, though.  If you're actually making a document, it may be easier to use LP to just do the music (creating EPS files) and do the text editing in OO Writer.  I'm not entirely sure, but you may be able to use something like Paint Shop Pro (costs) or The Gimp (free) to actually edit the pieces of the EPS files.

There is a notice in the sponsoring section of the
website that lists something about OOorg.  I wrote and
asked Han-Wen about it and was told that there was a
bridge that made the project possible but that it would
be expensive
Quote from Han-Wen-
" I've put the cost for an initial prototype at 1250 eur."

I'm interested but couldn't put up that much by myself
and didn't have much Idea of anyone else being interested.

Also other than trying to use it to put music in a text
which other people find simple or possible to do via
some sort of *teX program (which I remain ignorant of) I
am not sure how many people would get any use of the tool.

So if there is a larger interest it's probably a go.
Just needs money.

I also think that the use would need to be defined.
i.e. why do we want this integration and what do we
expect it do allow us to do.
