Re: LilyPond 2.22.0 released!
Hi Phil; Thank you for announcing the Lilypond 2.22 release! I was looking for the Lilypond 2.22 package for a 64-bit MacOS (Intel) running Big Sur, 11.1. What I see is a 32-bit MacOS package. When I installed Lilypond 2.20, I found a 64-bit package. Am I missing something obvious? Am I confused?

You appear to be running on Windows. A common problem is that Windows
doesn't let you write to a file that another application has open.
So make sure you close out.pdf before you run lilypond-book.
(I don't *think* you have to delete it as well.)

A workaround that wouldn't involve changing the source code for every multiline score would be to remove "-dcrop" from the flags list in sphinx.py, and instead use Python's subprocess module to crop the image with Niols's method (inkscape), shown half-a-dozen posts upthread.

C:\LilyPond220\usr\bin>convert-ly -e alice2.ly I think it's the command line prompt symbol. In other words, he entered that directory and launched the command in that directory as it was in the PATH instead of calling that file. I don't know Windows, but in Linux you would have used ./convert-ly in that directory. Anyway, the best suggestion is adding the binary path to the system PATH.

Re: Error with default value on predicate on 2.22.0
Thanks very much Lukas-Fabian.
This fixed all for me.
But at the same time I wonder: doesn't that API change risk to break some
other code that uses the default value in the same order I used it? I
think, for example, at Harm's snippets.
Not sure if it is a realistic case, but I suggest to check it.
Best,
Paolo

Hi Paolo,

Hello,
I just experienced (on Linux) that this compiles with <= 2.20

But it doesn't compile with 2.22.0
What's wrong?
Last May, Valentin (in 1ea236291f96dbe5) added the ability to use
CSS-style color names (and hex color codes, and four-number RGBA colors
with alpha channel) everywhere where previously one had to use RGB-style
colors. (I only found out about this _great_ addition by researching
your problem, so I'm actually quite happy right now.)
For this, the color? predicate had to be weakened in order to cover more
possible data types: Where previously, we had
(define-public (color? x)
(and (list? x)
(= 3 (length x))
(every number? x)
(every (lambda (y) (<= 0 y 1)) x)))
in scm/output-lib.scm, it now reads
(define-public (color? x)
(or
(string? x)
(and (list? x)
(let ((l (length x)))
(or (= 3 l)
(= 4 l)))
(every number? x)
(every (lambda (y) (<= 0 y 1)) x
To wit, while a color? used to be a list of exactly three numbers in
[0,1], now it is _either_ a string _or_ a list of three or four numbers
in the same interval.
So, in your function definition, "bar" is now a valid color?, hence is
taken as "col", and consequently LilyPond tries to read {} as a string?.
I see two solutions for your problem:
a) If you only ever need rgb colors, you could define and old-style
color? predicate and use this in your function definition.
b) You could re-order the parameters to your function in such a way that
the next predicate after the optional color? is not a sub-predicate of
color?. One example would be ly:music?, so the following works (I omit
"parser"/"location"):
\version "2.22"
foo = #(define-music-function (col mus staff) ((color? red) ly:music?
string?)
#{ c' d' #})
{
\foo {} "bar"
}

NOTES:
(1) I am running python 3.7; I don't have any versions of python 2.X on my
PC. I had seen in discussion threads that I needed to have a newer version
of lilypond so that python 3 would work with the lilypond-book python
scripts. I removed my older version of lilypond and now have V2.22.0
installed.
(2) I had to rename lilypond-book to lilypond-book.py so that Windows 10
recognized it as a python script.
(3) This example works fine with my linux installation of lilypond 2.22.0.
(4) From the python traceback there is some locking going on. I don't know
if this is some problem with write access to files? Do I need to invoke
the script with ADMIN privileges?
Thank you for your help in resolving this problem.
Re: Why does -dbackend=svg -dcrop remove system-system-spacing?
Hi, many years ago, I asked for a -dcrop options for SVG for a very similar usecase: adding SVG images to a website (a markdown extension in particular). It was then implemented some time later and I was happy with it (with my single line scores). It might be that Étienne Beaulé implemented it, but that is just a guess from a distant memory - git could surely tell. I am writing that here, because I’d like to add that as far as I remember, the intention for -dcrop was like Trevor explained and the removal of inter-system white-space seems like an accident to me. Cheers, Joram

I hope that some of the more powerful LilyPond developers find time and interest to fix this in the not too distant future. You might help us with submitting a bug report, BTW – it seems that the problem has been discussed on the mailing list(s) but I can't find something related in lilypond's issue database. Werner
