Subject: combining pieces in one book
Hi to all,
If this has been answered before, please point me there. I searched the
manual several times, but couldn't find an answer, that helped me.
I have many pieces for male choir, that are stored as .ly-files in a
directory with a subdirectory for every piece. All of them use some files
via \include command. Those files are situated in the parent directory.
Now I would like to make a book (one PDF with TOC and numbered pages) from
several of these pieces. And - to make it more complicated - this book
changes in content (the .ly-files are the repertoire, book will be the
selection for any given concert.
I am searching for a solution to _easily_ make those books without working
on the pieces-files. Using \bookpart gave a great number of errors and
didn't compile. Can anyone give me a starter, how to go about this?
Thanks
Kai
2 obvious options come to mind: lilypond-book, which is documented in the
Usage manual
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/usage/lilypond_002dbook.
Alternatively, you can simply use \book in the following way:
\book {
\markup { "Some text" }
\include "AFile.ly"
}
You would need to add your own contents page once the layout was sorted out.
