So presumably the "cannot find file" error went away when you corrected the full path "/home/Laurie/Lilypond/includes/jazzchords.ily" but how about when you type only: \include "jazzchords.ily" Does that also work? > But I'm not sure why this setting > hasn't been picked up by Emacs lilypond mode: > > Lilypond Include Path: String: /home/laurie/Lilypond/includes > State : SAVED and set. > LilyPond include path. > Groups: Lilypond > > I don't want to type the full file path everytime I use one of my includes. That looks like something to do with Frescobaldi; is that so? I'm not clear on how emacs would parse a .ily file that you included (as opposed to reading it into a buffer for you to edit). > > On Mon, Nov 13, 2023 at 02:45:26PM +1100, Laurie Savage wrote: > > > I set this in my ~/.emacs file > > > (custom-set-variables > > > '(LilyPond-include-path "/home/laurie/Lilypond/includes") > > > '(LilyPond-lilypond-command "/usr/bin/lilypond")) Where did you find that documented? It doesn't look like the way I include files in emacs. I use the standard ones included in the LilyPond archive, by means of the lines displayed here: $ grep lily ~/.emacs (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lilypond-init") (load-library "lilypond-init") $ $ ls -Glg ~/.emacs.d/lilypond-init ~/.emacs.d/lilypond-init/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 62 Nov 13 18:28 /home/myself/.emacs.d/lilypond-init -> /home/myself/lilypond-2.24.0-linux-x86_64/share/emacs/site-lisp /home/myself/.emacs.d/lilypond-init/: total 140 -rw-r----- 1 10492 Dec 13 2022 lilypond-font-lock.el -rw-r----- 1 22500 Dec 13 2022 lilypond-indent.el -rw-r----- 1 1015 Dec 13 2022 lilypond-init.el -rw-r----- 1 43307 Dec 13 2022 lilypond-mode.el -rw-r----- 1 20754 Dec 13 2022 lilypond-song.el -rw-r----- 1 8988 Dec 13 2022 lilypond-what-beat.el -rw-r----- 1 16402 Dec 13 2022 lilypond-words.el $ (Symlink refreshed at login to point to the most up-to-date version.) Failing to find a load-library in the load-path provokes this error from emacs: File is missing: Cannot open load file, No such file or directory, lilyPond-init whereas your error message below was from LilyPond: > > > /home/laurie/Doc…Traditional.ly:3:10: error: cannot find file: > > > `/home/Laurie/Lilypond/includes/jazzchords.ily' > > > (search path: `/home/laurie/Documents/Charts/Trans… … Cheers, David.
