Dear Ed,
thanks for this
suggestion.
I shall try.
However, if this discussion is to
be relevant for current users,
I probably have some catchup to
do.
Since yesterday, I have realized that my version of LilyPond
was "old" (relatively speaking)
because I had installed LilyPond
(version 2.16.0) on my computer on Tuesday 18th september 2012
and made
experiments (on the basis of the online documentation)
from time to
time, but not regularly,
with ong interruptions,
wondering whether
LilyPond would be flexible enough for my needs with Indian music (in
transcription).
(discovering the commands "\compoundMeter" was
reassuring, in that respect ...)
I realized that my version of
LilyPond was "old"
because it could not handle commands for
tuplets,
contrary to what the online documentation had led me to
expect
("\tuplet 5/4 { g4 aes8 g fis }" was not recognized by LilyPond
2.16,
although it is quite useful to have this syntax, for some of the
Indian rythms)
I have now installed LilyPond 2.18,
and will have
to see which obstacles have been removed
for a SMOOTH use of
LilyPond,
which is a great program,
although it takes time to
discover every possibility!
:-)
Cheers

Hi
Jean-Luc,
I don't have a true Lilypond answer
but.
Inkscape sets the bounding box default to the drawing-area,
so I gues that you only had to open the svg and save it as eps. If thats
true than you are fine with Inkscape. Did you know that you can use
Inkscape on the command line.
You can add this to to Lilypond batch
file to convert the svg to eps.
*****snippet_eps.bat ********************************
*****************************************************
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe"
-dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts %1 %2 %3 %4
*************************************
*************************************
"c:\program files
(x86)\inkscape\inkscape.exe" "%~n1.svg"
--export-eps="%~n1.eps"
I had to guess where inkscape is located
on your computer, so make sure this path is correct.
I couldn't
test this, I haven't Lilypond running on Windows.
Greetings,
Ed
