Does lilypond-book look for LaTeX \includes?

[Trevor Bača]

Hi,

lilypond-book processes this minimal file successfully:

%%% BEGIN 1 %%%

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\begin{document}
Hello!
\end{document}

%%% END %%%



But when we externalize the (one-line) preamble to a separate file, lilypond-book grumbles:

%%% BEGIN EXTERNALIZED PREAMBLE %%%

\include{test-preamble}  % contents of test-preamble.tex: \documentclass[10pt]{article}
\begin{document}
Hello!
\end{document}

%%% END %%%

Is lilypond-book supposed to know how to look for LaTeX \includes? Or is this a known limitation such that the workaround is simply not to externalize when using lilypond-book?
