Comment #5 on issue 2466 by [email protected]: Lilypond files fail when
compiled singly, but not when compiled as part of a large number
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2466
Differently to the original report, if I run
for LILYFILE in *.ly do
STEM=$(basename "$LILYFILE" .ly)
echo "running $LILYFILE..."
lilypond --format=png -ddelete-intermediate-files "$LILYFILE"
& "$STEM".txt
done
then I /do/ get an error message (redirected to a file), early exit of
LilyPond, and no output.
The snippet itself has a bug depending on its data, which includes spacing.
If we add \paper{#(set-paper-size"a5")} then it produces output and no
error with 2.12 or 2.14.
If we add \paper{#(set-paper-size"a2")} then it produces no error but bad
output with 2.12 or 2.14.
Good reason to keep it out of the LSR.
