This chapter details the technicalities of running LilyPond.
Nicely titled output is created through a separate program:
lilypond is a script that uses the LilyPond formatting
engine (which is in a separate program) and LaTeX to create a
nicely titled piece of sheet music, in PDF (Portable Document Format)
format.
lilypond [option]... file...
To have lilypond read from stdin, use a dash - for
file. The program supports the following options.
-k,--keeplilypond.dir.
-d,--dependenciesMakefile dependencies for every input file.
-h,--help-I,--include=dir-m,--no-paper--no-lilylilypond.
-o,--output=file--no-pdf--png--psgz--html--preview-s,--set=key=vallanguage, latexheaders,
latexpackages, latexoptions, papersize,
pagenumber, linewidth, orientation,
textheight.
-v,--version-V,--verbose--debug-w,--warrantylilypond extracts the following header fields from the LY files
to generate titling; an example demonstrating all these fields is in
input/test/lilypond-testpage.ly:

copyrightfootertaglineThe lilypond program responds to several parameters specified
in a \paper section of the input file. They can be overridden
by supplying a --set command line option.

designed to allow lilypond to produce output for double-sided
paper, with balanced margins and page numbers on alternating sides. To
achieve this specify twoside.
