Anyone using LilyPond? How do I run LilyPond source blocks in Org-
mode?
reddit / emacs

i get "No org-babel-execute function for LilyPond" when I try to C-c
C-c evaluate the source block.

I use it.
The major mode maintained with Lilypond is in need of a facelift.
I've done so on my private fork, but I don't have enough time to
polish it up and contribute it back upstream.

For the source blocks you need to have the ob-lilypond feature loaded.

thanks! got it working. Quick question though. Is there a way to set
lilypond to not produce a whole page? but instead, only show what I
have
 written? I looked in the manual pages for lilypond and saw the
'print-pages=#f' option setting. (default boolean value was set to
#t).
But how do i actually apply this while using lilypond via org mode's
source blocks?

#+begin_src lilypond :file images/blah.png
      \relative c'
      { c4 d e f g a b c }
    #+end_src

hmm. for some reason this source block used to produce blah in various
formats into the images folder. .count, .tex, .texi, .png, .eps....
and i think there was even this blah.cropped.png file as well. i dont
know what i did but the source block no longer produce that file
anymore. the CROPPED png is the one that i would like to have
displayed as the emacs org source block result instead of the full
page blah.png

You can use noweb to write a header and/or footer containing your
output settings then add them to each snippet block.
