lilypond-book

[Martin Tarenskeen]

Hi,

I am looking into the possibilities of lilypond-book and LaTeX.
I tried using LaTeX years ago but was frightened by the strange 
non-wysiwyg approach and mysterious commands then.

But since I have begun to use and like LilyPond, which uses a similar 
approach, I decided to give LaTeX a second chance. And indeed, looking 
into some LaTeX tutorials again all seems much less strange to me now.

Lilypond-book allows me to combine the power of LilyPond and LaTeX.

It would be even more convenient if a lilypond package for LaTeX 
would exist that would allow me to enter LilyPond code directly in a LaTeX 
document, without needing lilypond-book as an extra step.

something like this in a LaTeX document:

\usepackage[options...]{lilypond}
\begin{lilypond}
...some lilypond code ...
\end{lilypond}

For now the lilypond-book solution works fine, and I can imagine 
Lilypond 
developers don't feel much urge to write a LaTeX package for something 
that is already perfectly possible using lilypond-book?
