LaTeX forum ⇒ Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ Texmaker and Lilypond

[Aleks]

Hello! Can somebody help me understand how to integrate lilypond snipets with Texmaker. I know for certain that lilypond-book is installed on my computer, because it is working within Lyx. However, I prefer working in Texmaker, but I can't make it happen. I tried the example from the manual

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex}) Open in Overleaf

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphics}
\begin{document}
Documents for @command{lilypond-book} may freely mix music and text.
For example,
\begin{lilypond}
\relative c’ {
c2 g’2 \times 2/3 { f8 e d } c’2 g4
}
\end{lilypond}
\end{document}

But I get following errors:

LaTeX Error: Environment lilypond undefined
Undefined control sequence.
l.7 \relative
LaTeX Error: \begin{document} ended by \end{lilypond}

Hi Aleks,

welcome to the forum!

You need to run lilypond or lilipond-book as external tool on that LaTeX file, not yet LaTeX directly. See: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documenta ... dbook.html
