Comment #2 on issue 4187 by address@hidden: Usage: convert-ly command  
line tips
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4187

Re comment #1 - I just did test it, it doesn't create PDF files in the  
directory that you run it in (at least not in bash - which is the shell  
that is default in Ubuntu and Mint).

The command to do that is just this:

find . -name '*ly' -exec lilypond '{}' \;

i.e.

cd /somedir

find /path/to/all/my/lilypond/files/here/ -name '*ly' -exec lilypond '{}' \;


this creates PDFs in /somedir whereas the comment #2 command in bash  
creates the PDFs in the /path/to/all/my/lilypond/files/here/ dir.

---

So I tried csh with the command from comment #2 and it does the same thing  
as bash

---

So I tried zsh using the command in comment #2 this does something different

This creates PDFs in the source dir but creates the midi and ps files in  
the dir you run the command from.

If I run

find . -name '*ly' -exec lilypond '{}' \;

all three shells create PDFs in the dir you run the command from.

Interestingly (?) I get no midi or ps files created.

So my life is too short to try to learn all the vagaries of the different  
shells (I dread to think what Windows needs :/ ) so I'll just use  
the 'shorter' command for both examples.

I think I agree with merging the two chapters, it makes more sense -  
especially I think when using the HTML version. Easier all on one page.
