When Lilypond reads the .ly file, what is it looking for in terms of format (line endings, etc)?
Line endings are treated like any other white space (spaces and tabs), so you can write your input on a single line if you like.
I took a file that worked from the built in editor to Text Wrangler and then back again and it generated lots of errors (Unexpected #end, if I remember right). I wound up re-entering it in the built in editor. I'm assuming that Text Wrangler (from the people who make Bbedit) mangled the file in such a way that the parser didn't like it anymore.
My guess is that it didn't output a plain text file but added some extra control characters somewhere. An alternative is that it didn't use UNIX style line endings but the old-style Mac line endings or used the wrong character encoding. I don't know anything about this particular editor, but usually it's possible to specify what format the file is saved in. /Mats _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
