<h3 class="section">4.1 An example of a musicological document</h3>
<p><a name="index-musicology-50"></a>Some texts contain music examples. These texts are musicological
treatises, songbooks, or manuals like this. Such texts can be made by
hand, simply by importing a PostScript figure into the word processor.
However, there is an automated procedure to reduce the amount of work
involved in HTML, LaTeX, Texinfo and DocBook documents.
<p>A script called <code>lilypond-book</code> will extract the music fragments,
format them, and put back the resulting notation. Here we show a small
example for use with LaTeX. The example also contains explanatory
text, so we will not comment on it further.
<h4 class="subheading">Input</h4>
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
Documents for \verb+lilypond-book+ may freely mix music and text.
For example,
\begin{lilypond}
\relative c' {
c2 g'2 \times 2/3 { f8 e d } c'2 g4
}
\end{lilypond}
Options are put in brackets.
\begin[fragment,quote,staffsize=26,verbatim]{lilypond}
c'4 f16
\end{lilypond}
Larger examples can be put into a separate file, and introduced with
\verb+\lilypondfile+.
\lilypondfile[quote,noindent]{screech-boink.ly}
(If needed, replace screech-boink.ly by any .ly file you put in the same
directory as this file.)
\end{document}
</pre>
</blockquote>
<h4 class="subheading">Processing</h4>
<p>Save the code above to a file called <samp><span class="file">lilybook.lytex</span></samp>, then in a
terminal run
<!-- keep space after @version{} so TeX doesn't choke -->
<pre class="example"> lilypond-book --output=out --pdf lilybook.lytex
<em>lilypond-book (GNU LilyPond) 2.11.57 </em>
<em>Reading lilybook.lytex...</em>
<em>..lots of stuff deleted..</em>
<em>Compiling lilybook.tex...</em>
cd out
pdflatex lilybook
<em>..lots of stuff deleted..</em>
xpdf lilybook
<em>(replace </em><samp><span class="command">xpdf</span></samp><em> by your favorite PDF viewer)</em>
</pre>
<p>Running <samp><span class="command">lilypond-book</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">latex</span></samp> creates a lot of
temporary files, which would clutter up the working directory. To
remedy this, use the <code>--output=</code><var>dir</var> option. It will create
the files in a separate subdirectory <samp><span class="file">dir</span></samp>.
<p>Finally the result of the LaTeX example shown above.<a rel="footnote" href="#fn-1" name="fnd-1"><sup>1</sup></a> This finishes the tutorial section.
<h4 class="subheading">Output</h4>
<p>Documents for <samp><span class="command">lilypond-book</span></samp> may freely mix music and text.
For example,
<p class="noindent"><p>
<a href="../3e/lily-9bbaa8c4.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0" src="../3e/lily-9bbaa8c4.png" alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
<p>Options are put in brackets.
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
c'4 f16
</pre>
<p>
<a href="../d9/lily-9f16f5f9.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0" src="../d9/lily-9f16f5f9.png" alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Larger examples can be put into a separate file, and introduced with
<code>\lilypondfile</code>.
<blockquote>
<p>
<a href="../34/lily-278653e5.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0" src="../34/lily-278653e5.png" alt="[image of music]">
