Hello Lilypond Community:
// 'll skip excuses of almost never used this software before...
* What would it take to support Hebrew? Can I help?
I was even thinking of a quick and dirty solution by:
+ pre-processing Hebrew lyrics to some English codes
saving an inverse map specific to a run.
+ Running LilyPond with the 'Englishized' lyrics to produce .TeX file.
+ Transform the .TeX using the inverse map back to Hebrew lyrics.
+ dvips, etc.
* Current develop versions of LilyPond (at least from 1.3.74)
require Guile version 1.4. The requirements in the documentation
should be updated.
* Independently of documentation generation (that does not work for me),
it would be nice to have a Makefile-entry that will run test
on a set of examples.
It would help (me?) understand how to run a complete example successfully.
Currently, I fail.
* Currently a user is required to change (prepend) environment variables
- such as TEXINPUTS, MFINPUTS, GS_FONTPATH etc -
with some LilyPond installed directories.
How about having it done programmaticly in LilyPond
using the --perfix configuration parameter.
* I may be doing something wrong but I do get:
programming error: Infinity or NaN encountered (Continuing; cross thumbs)
programming error: Huh? My children deflated (FIXME) (Continuing; cross thumbs)
In short - Is there any example that is supposed to work
with versions 1.3.xx?
With the "paddy.ly" example from teh web-page I get:
% /home/local/bin/lilypond -V -f tex paddy.ly
