An example of a Texinfo document is this manual. The HTML, PDF, and Info versions of the manual are made from the Texinfo document. <p>In the input file, music is specified with <pre class="example">@lilypond[options,go,here] YOUR LILYPOND CODE @end lilypond </pre> <p class="noindent">or <pre class="example">@lilypond[options,go,here]{ YOUR LILYPOND CODE } </pre> <p class="noindent">or <pre class="example">@lilypondfile[options,go,here]{<var>filename</var>} </pre> <p>When <samp><span class="command">lilypond-book</span></samp> is run on it, this results in a Texinfo file (with extension <samp><span class="file">.texi</span></samp>) containing <code>@image</code> tags for HTML, Info and printed output. <samp><span class="command">lilypond-book</span></samp> generates images of the music in EPS and PDF formats for use in the printed output, and in PNG format for use in HTML and Info output. <p>We show two simple examples here. A <code>lilypond</code> environment <pre class="example">@lilypond[fragment] c' d' e' f' g'2 g' @end lilypond </pre> <p class="noindent">produces <p class="noindent"><p> <a href="../28/lily-476ee964.ly"> <img align="middle" border="0" src="../28/lily-476ee964.png" alt="[image of music]"> </a> </p> <p>The short version <pre class="example">@lilypond[fragment,staffsize=11]{<c' e' g'>} </pre> <p class="noindent">produces <p class="noindent"><p> <a href="../c3/lily-3e6a6357.ly"> <img align="middle" border="0" src="../c3/lily-3e6a6357.png" alt="[image of music]"> </a> </p> <p>Contrary to LaTeX, <code>@lilypond{...}</code> does not generate an in-line image. It always gets a paragraph of its own. <!-- footer_tag --><br><hr> <div class="node"> <p> Next: <a rel="next" accesskey="n" href="HTML.html#HTML">HTML</a>, Previous: <a rel="previous" accesskey="p" href="LaTeX.html#LaTeX">LaTeX</a>, Up: <a rel="up" accesskey="u" href="Integrating-music-and-text.html#Integrating-music-and-text">Integrating music and text</a> </div> <div style="background-color: #e8ffe8; padding: 2; border: #c0ffc0 1px solid;"> <p> <font size="-1"> This page is for LilyPond-2.11.57 (development-branch). <br> <address> Report errors to <a href="http://post.gmane.org/post.php?group=gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs">http://post.gmane.org/post.php?group=gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs</a>. </address> <br> Your <a href="http://lilypond.org/web/devel/participating/documentation-adding">suggestions for the documentation</a> are welcome. </font> </p> </div> <P> Other languages: <a href="Texinfo.es.html">espaƱol</a>, <a href="Texinfo.de.html">deutsch</a>. <BR> </P> </BODY></html>
