This is true even of a local file. First I "type" the file (Windows version of "cat") and it works fine with UNC. Then I try to launch LilyPond with the same file name and it can't find the file. *** Start command line C:\Users\Knute\Desktop >type \\KNUTE-HP\Users\Knute\Desktop\test.ly \version "2.19.81" { c'4 d' e' f' } C:\Users\Knute\Desktop >lilypond \\KNUTE-HP\Users\Knute\Desktop\test.ly GNU LilyPond 2.19.81 warning: cannot find file: `\\KNUTE-HP\Users\Knute\Desktop\test.ly' fatal error: failed files: "\\\\KNUTE-HP\\Users\\Knute\\Desktop\\test.ly" *** End command line --- Knute Snortum (via Gmail)
