Hi Hraban, thanks very much — yes I am able to get the first examples to work. Is there still a way to insert snippets/single lines of music between paragraphs? Cheers, David On Jun 10, 2014, at 2:53 AM, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:

Greetings all, it’s been quite a while since I tried to use lilypond snippets in a context file. Looks like we’re now using the filter module… can someone post a small working example file to get me started? —there are a number of different & some incomplete approaches to be found, none of which work :)

There’s really just one approach, just different setups of the filter module: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LilyPond

Did the first example work at all? Do you have LilyPond installed, and calling „lilypond“ works?

Between paragraphs should just work like that.

Both examples (1st page & multipage insertion) place the snippet on its own page, e.g. this gives me a 3 page document w/ snippet on page 2: \def\readPDFfile#1{\externalfigure[#1]} \usemodule[filter] \defineexternalfilter[lilypond] [continue=yes, readcommand=\readPDFfile, directory=lilytemp/, % directory for LilyPond's files output={\externalfilterbasefile.pdf}, filtercommand={lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts -ddelete-intermediate-files -o"lilytemp/\externalfilterbasefile" "\externalfilterinputfile"}] \starttext \input zapf \inlinelilypond{c d e f g a b c} \input zapf \stoptext (same result for \startlilypond … \stoplilypond) OS X Mavericks

If you’d like to avoid \startlilypond … \stoplilypond, try \inlinelilypond{…}

If the one \include line is too much for your use case, you should look into how you can inject that automatically in the buffer file.

If you don’t want to include your lilypond settings file every time, follow the advise in filter’s docs regarding LaTeX package „skak“ („Prepend and append text“): http://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/t-filter/doc/context/third/filter/filter...

Please add your solution to the wiki!

I certainly will, Thanks David

The LilyPond settings are essential, otherwise LP produces whole pages, that’s not a problem of ConTeXt. Please read and follow the wiki.
