Re: lilypond-book, making tune books, page breaks

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you are running on Cygwin, this is a known bug in lilypond-book.
One temporary workaround is to add the option
\begin[linewidth=15cm]{lilypond}
...
\end{lilypond}
You have to live with some warnings from lilypond-book, but it works.

For the titling, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2004-01/msg00455.html
on an ugly trick to do it with lilypond (the bug mentioned has been
fixed). With lilypond-book, you can also get the ordinary titling
by adding
\input{titledefs}
before \begin{document}
and
\def\mustmakelilypondtitle{}
before each LilyPond example. The solution that is described in the
lilypond-book manual doesn't work for the moment due to a bug but
will be fixed in version 2.2.3.
