Re: OOoLilyPond

Hi again, 

recently I've done some homework...  ;-)
I've tried to make some additions, and the result is
OOoLilyPond-0.4.2rc1.oxt - see attached.
OOoLilyPond-0.oxt
<http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n199060/OOoLilyPond-0.oxt>  

Notice: This is based on the most "recent" release OOoLilyPond-0.4.1rc1.oxt
from 2009 which isn't on the official site, but you can find it here: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/ooolilypond/discussion/614285/thread/d200563d/

On Windows, it worked fine with LibreOffice, but not with OpenOffice.

New features: 

1.) It's now possible to add include paths in the config dialog. 

2.) Ability to save the current code to a temporary LY file and open it in
an external editor, e.g. Frescobaldi. The path to the executable can be
customized in the config dialog. Another button re-imports code from the
temporary file back to the editor window. 

3.) LilyPond's svg backend still doesn't support lilypond-book-preamble.ly
would be needed for auto-cropping. 
Any current attempt to use OLy with svg format must work without
lilypond-book-preamble.ly, e.g. with the "Direct to Lilypond" template.
Paper size must be found by trial-and-error. As line-width must be given
anyway, only the paper height would have to be a guess, which is maybe not
that bad. 
Also, text fonts seem to be replaced - don't know where and why. Is there
already a discussion about that?
That being said: I've added svg support, and on Windows 7 I had no problems
with the graphics import. 

It would be cool if someone also could test it on Linux and report errors.
I've added two templates to play with.

Attempt2.ly <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n199060/Attempt2.ly>  

Cheers, 
Klaus

P.S.: I hope the attachments work, as I'm posting from nabble:
