Re: Font changing

[Thomas Scharkowski]

Thank you.

I want to use the \changefont command for titling.

        latexheaders = "newcommand.tex" 

in the *.ly file does produce

        \include{newcommand.tex} 

in the resulting *.latex file, right?
This does not work. I changed to \input{newcommand.tex} and this did 
the job. Could I get the same without editing the *.latex file?

Thanks again,
Thomas
