Re: OOolilypond Libre Office extension : insert object large as full page

[Dario Marrini]

Hi Klaus, I found the problem

I don't know why, but the Default.ly in OOoLilyPond-templates directory , that's located in my home directory, /home/dario/, had no "\include lilypond-preamble.ly" line; I think because may be it was coming from prevoius version of the extension; after deleting every file and directory in my home referring to OOoLilypond, I removed the extension and I added it again, and now it works properly.

May be it would have been enough to do restore default templates, but I didn't think to do it.

Many thanks to all you, I hope  I have made a little contribution to someone.

Best regards

Dario

Thanks Klaus, I can cnogirm I get the same results.

So where do I have to put that \include?

This is the Default.ly tha t I can extract from the .oxt :

\transpose %{OOoLilyPondCustom1%}c c'%{OOoLilyPondEnd%}
{
%{OOoLilyPondCode%}% For getting started read (copy URL into your web browser):
% https://github.com/openlilylib/LO-ly
% http://lilypond.org/doc/stable/Documentation/learning/simple-notation%
%
% Use the "Custom 1" to transpose your music _expression_. E. g. try "e a'".

\key e \major e8 fis gis e fis8 b,4. | e2\fermata \bar "|."
%{OOoLilyPondEnd%}
}

\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"
#(set-global-staff-size %{OOoLilyPondStaffSize%}20%{OOoLilyPondEnd%})

\paper {
  #(define dump-extents #t)
  ragged-right = ##t
  line-width = %{OOoLilyPondLineWidth%}17\cm%{OOoLilyPondEnd%}
}

\layout {
  indent = #0
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
  }
}

that \include is present here, and if I copy and pas de Default.ly in Frescobaldi I get the correct thing (see the .png as attachment); but if I simply try to insert the music fragment by using the Default inside LibreOffice I get a whole page snippet...

on the right side of your screenshot I can see that a whole page is
created.

Just try this minimal snippet:

% ------------------------------------------
\relative c' {c e g c}
\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"
% ------------------------------------------

It should create a small image.
If you remove or comment out the second line (\include
"lilypond-book-preamble.ly"), you get a whole page again.

In the screenshots I'll attach the results that I get on my system.
There you can also see in the LilyPond output messages (at the bottom
left side) that in the version with the preamble there are some more
files created (*.tex, *.texi etc.).

Can you check if you get similar results?
If not, I suspect that there is a problem with your LilyPond
installation that is independent from OOoLilyPond. In that case, I could
ask here on the mailing list tomorrow if someone with more Linux
knowlegde already knows about that problem.

Cheers,
Klaus
