Re: Problems with Lilypond-book, accidentals, and time signatures

[Fred Leason]

Aaron:

I pasted your snippet into a TeX file and ran lilypond-book  
(2.11.19.)  Output looked good to me.  I used pdflatex:

>lilypond-book InlineFragment.tex --pdf --output=pdflatex
lilypond-book (GNU LilyPond) 2.11.19
Reading InlineFragment.tex...
Running latex...This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C  
7.5.5)
entering extended mode
(/tmp/tmpq8dcqe.tex
LaTeX2e <2003/12/01>
Babel <v3.8d> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german,  
ngerman, d
utch, italian, norsk, portuges, spanish, swedish, nohyphenation, loaded.

>cd pdflatex
>open lily-173dcc0941.pdf

lily-173dcc0941.pdf
Description: Adobe PDF document

and the .TeX file looked fine too.  This was on OSX.  So I suspect  
Mats is right, it is something about the fonts.

The only other thing is the --output option needs an "=" sign.  Your  
script does not.  That means output from lilypond-book will not wind  
up in lilyscratch as you intended.  If you are looking for it there,  
you will have something old (maybe from a previous version of lilypond.
