lilypond-book

[Peter Buhr]

I'm attempting to use lilypond-book but have run into the following anomaly.

The latex file below demonstrates the problem. There is a line \input{test.ind}
to include the index file generated by the makeindex command. Normal procedure
is to start with an empty (0 byte) xxx.ind file, do several latex runs to
generate a xxx.idx file, and then build the index from xxx.idx using makeindex,
do a few more latex runs to incorporate the index into the document, and Bob's
Your Uncle. All these steps are normally accomplished via a Makefile.

However, when I run lilypond-book, as in:

  $ lilypond-book -f latex -o out2 test.lytex 

the pre-processed output file out2/test.tex has zero bytes. If I comment out
the line \input{test.ind} and run the same lilypond-book command, out2/test.tex
has the correct pre-processed output. Moving the empty file test.ind to
directory out2 still results in an empty test.tex file. Naming the file to
something else does not help.

So the problem seems to related to any input file having zero size results in
the preprocessed output-file also having zero size.
