 3 Running ‘lilypond-book’
 *************************
 
 If you want to add pictures of music to a document, you can simply do it
 the way you would do with other types of pictures.  The pictures are
 created separately, yielding PostScript output or PNG images, and those
 are included into a LaTeX or HTML document.
 
    ‘lilypond-book’ provides a way to automate this process: This program
 extracts snippets of music from your document, runs ‘lilypond’ on them,
 and outputs the document with pictures substituted for the music.  The
 line width and font size definitions for the music are adjusted to match
 the layout of your document.
 
    This is a separate program from ‘lilypond’ itself, and is run on the
 command line; for more information, see Command-line usage.  If
 you have trouble running ‘lilypond-book’ on Windows or Mac OS X using
DONTPRINTYET  the command line, then see either (lilypond-web)Windows or *noteDONTPRINTYET  the command line, then see either (lilypond-web)Windows or 
 (lilypond-web)MacOS X.
 
    This procedure may be applied to LaTeX, HTML, Texinfo or DocBook
 documents.
