14.11 Inserting LilyPond output into other programs

To insert LilyPond output in other programs, use lilypond instead of lilypond-book. Each example must be created individually and added to the document; consult the documentation for that program. Most programs will be able to insert lilypond output in PNG, EPS, or PDF formats.

To reduce the white space around your lilypond score, use the following options

\paper{
  indent=0\mm
  line-width=120\mm
  oddFooterMarkup=##f
  oddHeaderMarkup=##f
  bookTitleMarkup = ##f
  scoreTitleMarkup = ##f
}

{ c1 }

To produce a useful eps file, use

lilypond -b eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts   myfile.ly
