Creating the PDF and MIDI files

(I highly recommend the Frescobaldi IDE for LilyPond. It makes all of the following much easier.)

The PDF and MIDI files can be created by issuing the following command in the directory this file is in (assuming you have lilypond in your PATH variable):

    lilypond mazurkas-op17-book.ly

To create a smaller PDF, try:

    lilypond -dno-point-and-click mazurkas-op17-book.ly

You may also download the latest release to get the compiled PDF and MIDI files.

Problems with MIDI

The MIDI playback for the third mazurka is incorrect. I couldn't find a way for the music to end at the first ending of the first repeat volta, only the second. For the PDF, I just moved the "Fine" to the left so it is under the first ending, but this doesn't affect the playback.

Two-sided printing

The pieces are set up so that they can be printed on two sides of the paper, leaving an extra margin amount on the inside pages for binding. If you don't want this, open the file header-paper.ily, find the \paper block (in the middle) and set two-sided = ##f.

Thanks

Thanks to the folks at the LilyPond user's mailing list, especially Jean Abou Samra, for all the help getting LilyPond to do what I wanted, and thanks to phmcarty for the proofreading.
