Re: lilypond-book→latex

[N. Andrew Walsh]

Hi Federico,

according to release notes, Lyx has had support for lilypond-book for some time now. See here:

https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20#lb

That's where it says it requires the "lilypond-book→(pdf)latex" package, which my Lyx says it can't find. 

Any advice? Are there any Lyx users who got this working?

Cheers,

A

Hi Andrew

lilypond-book is a preprocessor and I don't think you can use it in Lyx
(I have zero experience with Lyx though).

Why don't you try lyluatex?
https://github.com/jperon/lyluatex/blob/master/README.en.md

Then you can process your .tex file directly using lualatex and I guess
this will play well with Lyx.
