Hi,
Having seen that many here are using 2.19, I thought I'd have a go. I
use both Mac/OS and Linux, but what I'm describing here is for Mac/OS.
I install lilypond via macports which provides two packages:
lilypond @2.18.2_5 (textproc)
lilypond-devel @2.19.80 (textproc)
So, I deactivated lilypond and activated lilypond-devel in order to use
2.19.
My first test did not work:
bombyx:~/Music/Matt/Song2017-09-28$ make -B
lilypond -drelative-includes -I/Users/matt/Music/mattlib/ PianoScore.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.19.80
Processing `PianoScore.ly'
Parsing.../opt/local/share/lilypond/2.19.80/scm/lily-library.scm:375:14:
In procedure ly:add-context-mod in expression (ly:add-context-mod
mods (list # #)):
/opt/local/share/lilypond/2.19.80/scm/lily-library.scm:375:14: Wrong
type argument in position 1 (expecting Context_mod): #f
make: *** [PianoScore.pdf] Error 1
There are no error messages referring to my own lilypond source files,
which makes me wonder what's going on here.
I understand that the lilypond-devel package is not intended to be
stable, and so bugs may appear. Is that what's happening here? If not,
I'm happy to try to create a small example that exposes this error.
Would I be better advised to stick to the lilypond package and 2.18? Or
is there another route to installing a stable 2.19 without too much work
(I keep running into comments about how difficult it is build lilypond
from source).
When I tried lilypond 2.19 on a different score, I had the above error,
but also some relating to my own .ly files. I guess there are changes
that I need to make to my source (even though I have `\version "2.18.2"`
in the source). Is that right? Is there a guide to these changes?
I think this is my first post here, which seems like an appropriate time
to say that lilypond is a phenomenal piece of software - thanks to all
involved.
Matt
