I recently upgraded to lilypond 2.2.2 from 2.0, and am having lots and lots
of problems with recompiling a book I wrote using lilypond-book
(http://www.lightandmatter.com/sight/sight.html). I'd appreciate
any help from people on the list with getting it working again.
I had been using the following script (in a makefile) to compile the book:
lilypond-book --default-music-fontsize=16 --include=melodies sight.tex
latex sight.latex
makeindex sight.idx
latex sight.latex
dvips -q -Ppdf -u +lilypond.map sight
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile="sight.pdf" -c
.setpdfwrite - <sight.ps
Problems:
1. The first line now gives an error because of the default-music-fontsize option;
has
some equivalent mechanism been substituted for this?
2. The first line used to read sight.tex as input and write sight.latex as output.
Now
lilypond-book dies, saying that this would result in overwriting its own input file,
and
that I should use the --output option. I've done that, but I'm not clear on why the
output
file would now be sight.tex rather than sight.latex...is there something I'm not
understanding
here?
3. I used to use this
\property Score.barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 999)
to eliminate bar numbering, but now it causes an error. Is there some different
mechanism for
this now?
5. My book has about 300 short pieces of music in it, of which an example is this:
\begin[filename=temp-x_rh_twinkle.tex,linewidth=170mm,20pt]{lilypond}
\context RhythmicStaff {
\time 4/4
c4 c c c | c c c2 | c4 c c c | c c c2
\bar "||"
}
\end{lilypond}
This now generates the following warnings:
lilypond-book: warning: deprecated ly-option used: 20pt
lilypond-book: warning: compatibility mode translation: staffsize=20
lilypond-book: warning: ignoring unknown ly option:
filename=temp-x_cclef_anonymous_feinsliebchen.tex
lilypond-book: warning: deprecated ly-option used: linewidth=170mm
lilypond-book: warning: compatibility mode translation: linewidth=170.000000\mm
lilypond-book: warning: deprecated ly-option used: 20pt
lilypond-book: warning: compatibility mode translation: staffsize=20
6. Thinking to eliminate some errors from lilypond itself (as opposed to
lilypond-book), I
tried using convert-ly, like this:
lilypond-book --filter='convert-ly --from=2.0.0' --include=melodies --output=out
sight.tex
But this resulted in the following output:
lilypond-book (GNU LilyPond) 2.2.2
Reading sight.tex...
Dissecting...
lilypond-book: error: `convert-ly --from=2.0.0' failed (0)
lilypond-book: error: The error log is as follows:
convert-ly (GNU LilyPond) 2.2.2
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/home/bcrowell/Documents/writing/sight.
7. After doing my best to work around these problems (e.g., by eliminating the
barNumberVisibility
stuff temporarily), I get this output:
[warnings about compatibility and deprecation]
Processing...Running lilypond-bin...
At this point, it seems to hang up. A Unix 'ps' command shows this:
93317 p1 IL+ 0:00.00 /bin/sh -ec lilypond-book --include=melodies
--output=out sight.tex
93318 p1 IL+ 0:10.73 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/lilypond-book
--include=melodies --output=out sight.tex
But both of these seem to have become zombie processes. Neither one is using any cpu.
About 300 files like lily-1636361959.ly and 300 like lily-1636361959.tex have been
created in the ./out
directory, which makes sense, since the book contains about 300 pieces of music in
it. However, the file
./out/sight.tex is empty (or perhaps there is output that would be going to it, but
has never gotten flushed).
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!
