Hi David,

first, please reply on the list only. I do monitor it; at least in this
early state of learning. ;-)

Something like that was in my mind at first. (Using pdflatex instead of
lylualatex) But at the moment I would be more than happy to have a
simple but pretty printed songbook. So I decided to start with a
lilypond file and I might split it up in future.

If you have some simple example, that would be nice.

How would it look like? Would it be a full lilypond file with version
and core->cords, frets, grandtsaff->voices and lyrics or would the
lyrics come from inside LaTeX?

I think, I should use "\lilypondfile{sond1.ly}" in latex for such files
and then use just pdflatex to compile it?

But the lilypond-book seems to have a weird bug. When called
"lilypond-book test.lytex", it gives me a stack trace with
"UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xbb in position 0:
invalid start byte".

I have the input files in utf-8 but my environment is latin1. When I set
the LC_ALL to C, it works.

Regards
   Klaus
