hint about lyrics/UTF-8; workarounds
</texcode>
* If you want, you can change the default settings using <cmd>setuplilypond</cmd>
* If you need lyrics with accented characters (e.g. umlauts), you '''must''' typeset in UTF-8 encoding (see [[Encodings_and_Regimes]]), because LilyPond doesn't understand anything else. And you need to use UTF-8 without BOM, because ConTeXt doesn't understand that.
== Snippets ==
* tell lilypond how much space is left on the first page
* check and probably work on proper multi-page music
* LilyPond variables
LilyPond uses fontconfig for font search. At least on MacOS X it's very restricted what kind of fonts it can use - only single-style TrueType (including dfont). I didn't manage yet to use fonts from the TeX tree. (That doesn't seem to be fontconfig's fault - it writes appropriate font cache files everywhere.)
* How do we handle version/syntax changes of LilyPond?

== Workarounds ==
=== LilyPond is not found ===
Calling lilypond from command line in Windows fails. (Seems like a bug in lilypond.)
* place a <code>lilypond.bat</code> somewhere in your search path, calling
c:/prog/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
Calling lilypond from ConTeXt via shell exit (write18) in MacOS X also fails, even if the shell's path is right. (Seems more like write18 wouldn't use the environment.) Modify the module (try <tt>which lilypond</tt> to get its path).
=== LilyPond stops with an 'Unbound variable' error ===
The [http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-lilypond LilyPond module] as of 2005-09-12 uses deprecated syntax in its header; replace "ly:parser-print-score" with "print-score-with-defaults" and "ly:music-scorify" with "scorify-music". Maybe this is only an issue with LilyPond 2.7
