Though I rechecked and it still runs 'flawlessly,' my output is significantly shorter than yours by running the command

lilypond test.ly

Behold:

[spamguy:~] spamguy% lilypond test.ly
GNU LilyPond 1.9.2
Now processing: `test.ly'
Parsing...

That's it. Thoughts?

Furthermore, you are right: copying and pasting bastardised the test.ly text. On my computer, my test.ly and your testfixed.ly are exactly the same.

Cheers,

Will

this looks as if something might have crashed. Can you check that

does produce a .tex file?

I don't think so. lilypond executes flawlessly, but there are no output files produced in that directory, .tex or otherwise.

Hello Will,


It surprises me that your lilypond 'executed flawlessly'. I have lily
1.6.10 (still) on my home pc. I saved the text you posted into a file
test.ly (see attachment) and issued the command

lilypond test.ly

... and I got error messages:

-------------------------------------------
GNU LilyPond 1.6.10
Now processing: `test.ly'
Parsing...
test.ly:3:10: error: parse error, unexpected '/':

          home/hanwen/usr/src/savannah/lily/lilypond-1.8/input/
error: Incorrect lilypond version: 1.7.18 (1.3.146, 1.6.10)
error: Consider updating the input with the convert-ly script


test.ly:4:31: warning: Braces don't match: template/piano.ly printfilename -------------------------------------------

Since the "filename=" and "template/..." lines probably belonged to the
previous comment lines (sentence in comment was not finished, lines have
no obvious lily purpose) I commented out those lines.


[Maybe they were already joined to the 'options are' line in your copy of
the file and the linesplitting occurred during copypasting and due to
linelength limitations in mail programs; which is why it is a good idea to
send lily sources as attachments instead of copypasted in the body of the
mail]


Then reprocess, and I still get the complaint with the version number:

-------------------------------------------
GNU LilyPond 1.6.10
Now processing: `testfixed.ly'
Parsing...error: Incorrect lilypond version: 1.7.18 (1.3.146, 1.6.10)
error: Consider updating the input with the convert-ly script

-------------------------------------------

... but when I replace the "1.7.18" by "1.6.10" (as suggested already in a
previous mail) it runs fine:


-------------------------------------------
GNU LilyPond 1.6.10
Now processing: `testfixed.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...[2]
Preprocessing elements...
Calculating column positions... [2]
paper output to `testfixed.tex'...

Interpreting music...
MIDI output to `testfixed.midi'...
Track ...
-------------------------------------------

... and I do get a testfixed.tex (and .midi) in the current working
directory.

So, could you please re-check your statement that lily ran 'flawlessly' on
the posted test file, and see what happens if you run lily on the attached
"testfixed.ly"?


Cheers,
David Boersma
