Re: Making a lilypond-book -- IT WORKS...sort of

[Mats Bengtsson]

Having had a look at the full files, I realize what's up, namely
a missing feature in lilypond-book!

The problem is that your file mvmt1/mvmt1.ly includes
other files from the subdirectory mvmt1, using lines such as:
\include "violino1.ly"
\include "violino2.ly"
\include "viola.ly"

The same goes for mvmt3/mvmt3.ly.

Since the lilypond program is run in the base directory, it
didn't find the include files in the subdirectories mvmt1/
and mvmt3/. To solve that, you probably used

lilypond-book -I mvmt1/ --output=out/ tchai_op35_book.tex

which means that both mvmt1/mvmt1.ly and mvmt3/mvmt3.ly will
include the files from the same directory: mvmt1/

The best solution would be if it was possible to specify a
separate include directory for each \lilypondfile{...} or
\begin{lilypond}...\end{lilypond} directive. I could imagine
a syntax like \lilypondfile[includepath="mvmt1"]{mvmt1/mvmt1.ly}

However, until this feature request has been implemented, I'm afraid
you will have to add the directory name in every \include statement,
for example
\include "mvmt1/violino1.ly"
\include "mvmt1/violino2.ly"
\include "mvmt1/viola.ly"
in the file mvmt1/mvmt1.ly

and
\include "mvmt3/violino1.ly"
\include "mvmt3/violino2.ly"
\include "mvmt3/viola.ly"
in the file mvmt3/mvmt3.ly

Then you should call lilypond-book without any additional include path
directives:
lilypond-book -o out/ tchai_op35_book.tex

Of course, this makes the solution less flexible, since if you change
the directory structure, you have to change all the \include directives.
Also, it means that the mvmt1/mvmt1.ly file will not work stand-alone
(to solve this latter problem, you could consider to move the mvmt1.ly
and mvmt3.ly files to the top directory).
