Snippets

[Mark Austin]

I'm trying to extract some Lilypond snippets to insert into a Word
document, and found a trick in the archives here:

\version "2.13.3"

%{
        Austin collection of Mumming Plays
%}


\layout {
        clip-regions
        = #(list
                (cons
                        (make-rhythmic-location 0 0 1)
                        (make-rhythmic-location 9 4 4)))
}

#(ly:set-option 'clip-systems)


\relative c' {
        \key g \major
        \time 2/4
        {
                \partial 8
                d16[ d] |
                g8[ d] b[ d] |
                g4 \breathe g8[ g] |
                a[ a] a[ a] |
                a4. \breathe a8 |
                b8[ b] b[ b] |
                c[ c] \breathe c[ c] |
                b[ g] a[ fis] |
                g4. \bar "|."           
        }
        \addlyrics {With a hel met on his head And a sword by his si de
        The sol dier mounts his gall ant steed To con quer or to die }
}
\header {
        title = "Sidmouth Mummers Play"
        composer = "Anon"
        }

There are two problems. The first is that this generates two sets of
snippets, one for each line of music. Is there any way to generate a
snippet covering both lines.

The second is that it generates an error, and does not generate the
overall pdf output from the ps file. The error is:

c:/Program 
Files/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/framework-ps.scm:548:62:
In procedure car in expression (car systems):
c:/Program 
Files/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/framework-ps.scm:548:62:
Wrong type (expecting pair): ()

Any idea what's causing it (and how to get rid of it)?
