1=== Engraving Scores ===
2
3To engrave a score, Frescobaldi runs LilyPond with the correct commandline
4options. There are four modes Frescobaldi can compile scores in:
5*Preview*, *Publish*, *Layout Control* and *Custom*.
6
7The *Preview mode* renders the PDF with point and click information enabled, so
8that there is two-way navigation between the music view and the LilyPond source.
9
10The *Publish mode* is used to produce the final PDF intended to be shared.
11Not generating the point and click information reduces the size of the resulting PDF file
12and doesn't reveal hard-coded information about the directories on your computer.
13
14The *Layout Control mode* can be used to enable specific features that can help
15in controlling and fine-tuning the layout of a score.
16
17The *Custom mode* opens a dialog allowing you to specify the LilyPond command
18in detail. This dialog also has options to let LilyPond engrave a score to
19PostScript, SVG or PNG images, or to a PDF using the EPS backend.
20
21All commands to run LilyPond can be found in the *LilyPond* menu.
22Pressing the LilyPond symbol in the toolbar engraves the document
23in preview mode, or in custom mode if Shift is held. And if you enable the *Automatic engrave* option,
24Frescobaldi will run LilyPond automatically every time the document is modified (in preview mode).
