8 ly2dvi is a Python script which creates input file for LaTeX,
9 based on information from the output files from LilyPond.
10 The script handles multiple files. If a mudela file name is
11 specified LilyPond is run to make an output (TeX) file.
13 One or more LaTeX files are created, based on information found
14 in the output (TeX) files, and latex is finally run to create
15 one or more DVI files.
17 The majority of this utility came from a bourne script written by Jan
18 Arne Fagertun name @file{ly2dvi}.
22 ly2dvi [options] inputfile[.ly] [....]
29 Set debug mode. There are two levels - in level one some debug
30 info is written, in level two the command @strong{set -x} is run, which
31 echoes every command in the ly2dvi script.
33 Name of additional LaTeX headers file. This is included in the
34 tex file at the end of the headers, last line before @code{\begin@{document@}}
36 Set paper heigth (points). Used together with width and LaTeX name of
37 papersize in case of papersize unknown to ly2dvi.
38 @item -K,--keeplilypond
39 Keep LilyPond output after the run.
41 Set landscape orientation - portrait is the default.
42 (@strong{-L} produces @code{\usepackage[landscape]@{article@}})
44 Switch off page numbering.
45 @item -O,--orientation=
46 Set orientation landscape - obsolete, use @strong{-L} instead.
48 In addition to the DVI file, also Generate a postsript file.
50 Set paper width (points). Used together with heigth and LaTeX name of
51 papersize in case of papersize unknown to ly2dvi.
52 @item -d,--dependencies
53 Tell lilypond to make dependencies file.
57 Keep the LaTeX file after the run.
59 Specify LaTeX language.
60 (@strong{-l norsk} produces @code{\usepackage[norsk]@{babel@}}).
65 (@strong{-p a4} produces @code{\usepackage[a4paper]@{article@}})
67 Normally all output files are included into one LaTeX file.
68 With this switch all files are run separately, to produce one
75 ly2dvi responds to several parameters specified in the mudela
76 file. They are overridden by corresponding command line options.
80 Specify LaTeX language
81 @item latexheaders="";
82 Specify additional LaTeX headers file
85 @item paperlinewidth="";
86 Specify the width (pt, mm or cm) of the printed lines.
88 Specify name of papersize.
95 Sets the root directory of the LilyPond installation
97 Additional directories for input files.
99 Temporary directory name. Default is /tmp
104 @file{titledefs.tex} is inspected for definitions used to extract
105 additional text definitions from the mudela file. In the current
106 version the following are defined:
110 The title of the music. Centered on top of the first page.
112 Subtitle, centered below the title.
114 Name of the poet, leftflushed below the below subtitle.
116 Name of the composer, rightflushed below the subtitle.
118 Meter string, leftflushed below the below poet.
120 Name of the opus, rightflushed below the below composer.
122 Name of the arranger, rightflushed below the opus.
124 Name of the instrument, centered below the arranger
126 Name of the piece, leftflushed below the instrument
129 @file{$LILYPONDPREFIX/share/.lilyrc $HOME/.lilyrc ./.lilyrc} are files
130 to set up default running conditions. On Windows OS initialization
131 files are named @file{_lilyrc}. The file syntax is as follows:
138 Where @strong{VARIABLE-NAME} is the name of the variable documented below
139 and @strong{VALUE} is either a string, a 1, or a 0. All files are parsed,
140 in the shown sequence. In the current version the following are
