You have certainly exposed a bug/inconsistency, but probably not
the one you thought that you found. I include a copy of this email to
lilypond-bug.
First of all, the note heads and other symbols should certainly work in
your
first example. As far as I can see from your earlier emails, you have
managed
to get lilypond-book to work correctly with other files and if you use
exactly
the same sequence of commands this time, you should get a correct output
also in this example.
Back to the bug. Your second example contains two \score{...} sections
(even though you haven't written them out explicitly). This doesn't work
in lilypond-book and if you really want two (or more) separate scores in
one and the same example, you should add a \book{...} around the full
example (then you also need to add the \score{...} statements explicitly).
The rest of my answer is mainly intended for bug-lilypond.
What happens in tiM's second example is a collision between two
different naming conventions:
A. When there is more then a single \score{...} block in a lilypond example
within lilypond-book, the corresponding outputs are named
<basename>{.eps,-systems.tex,-N.eps}
<basename>-1{.eps,-systems.tex,-N.eps}
<basename>-2{.eps,-systems.tex,-N.eps}
...
where the .eps file contains the full score and all fonts whereas the
-N.eps
files contain single score lines and no fonts (to avoid duplicating the
same
information several times in the PS file for the full document).
This is similar to the naming scheme obtained if you call LilyPond
directly
on a .ly file that contains several \book{...} blocks.
B. The score lines for each single score of a lilypond example in
lilypond-book
are named
<basename>-1.eps
<basename>-2.eps
<basename>-3.eps
...
Clearly, these two naming schemes collide and the same file names will
appear several times. Since the score blocks are processed in sequential
order,
the <basename>-1.eps file with the first score line of the first score
will be
overwritten by the full score of the second score and so on.
For example, the following snippet
\begin{lilypond}
\score{\repeat unfold 4 {c'1 \break | }}
\score{\repeat unfold 4 {d'1 \break | }}
\score{\repeat unfold 4 {e'1 \break | }}
\score{\repeat unfold 4 {f'1 \break | }}
\end{lilypond}
will result in
The full second \score{...} followed by
The full third \score{...} followed by
The full fourth \score{...} followed by
The last score line of the first score.
If we changed one of these naming schemes, for example using something else
then a '-' before the number, then the output from lilypond-book would
at least
contain the full first score while the rest of the scores would
disappear, which
at least is a simple rule that easily can be documented ("only the first
\score{...}
block will appear in the output"). Well, at second thought the message
to be
conveyed in the manual should anyway be "Use only a single \score{...}
block
or combine everything into a single \book{...} block".
I've actually considered adding a 'book' or 'keep-together' option to
lilypond-book
snippets, which adds the \book{...} block in the generated .ly file.

Hi, i think i found a very strange bug using lilypond-book. Now i'm
just new
at lilypond, but the inconsistency makes me think it's not my fault,
still
i'm aware that it could well be me doing something wrong.
The following code leads to an output with missing noteheads and time
signature and fingering in courier new.
\begin{lilypond}
\relative c'{
\context RhythmicStaff {
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'()
\time 4/4
g4_4 g_4 a_5 a_5 g2_4 e_2 }
}
\end{lilypond}
While the exact same code placed twice leads to the output I expected
from
the input above.
\begin{lilypond}
\relative c'{
\context RhythmicStaff {
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'()
\time 4/4
g4_4 g_4 a_5 a_5 g2_4 e_2 }
}
\relative c'{
\context RhythmicStaff {
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'()
\time 4/4
g4_4 g_4 a_5 a_5 g2_4 e_2
}
}
\end{lilypond}
How is this possible?
Tnx. tiM
