Hi Mike,

I did something along these lines a couple of years ago using something called lytex, which if I recall correctly sort of combines Tex typesetting with Lilypond.

You can check out the main file (and entire codebase) here: https://github.com/MikeiLL/hymnal-Vol-II/blob/master/lilypond/hymnal.lytex.

I forget what I was using Arara for, but I think that the way I have it set up Arara needs to be configured on your rendering computer to render the tex file and then that compiles.

There’s also something called lilypond-book, but I think that’s more for including small clips of music within text.

I thought lilypond-book was what processed .lytex files?

Either way, going to full-fledged TeX seems like overkill for my purposes -- but I will definitely keep it in mind if I find myself spending a lot of time fighting against Lilypond's text handling.

Thanks,

Sol
