I'm having trouble making sense of what you are trying to do with
this command and from where you are trying to do it.
Sorry, I'm trying to use the midi command in lilypond mode from within
emacs. Since I'm on a macintosh, I change the timidity -ia and
timidity in the lilypond.mode.el file to be open -a 'Mighty MIDI'. It
works for opening the pdfs from within emacs. I use the emacs shortcut
to view the pdf and it opens. I've changed the default xpdf to open -a
'Skim' and everything works perfectly.
That open command looks incorrectly stated for Emacs on two fronts.
Are you typing this command in somewhere (Emacs or the shell) or is
this command being generated inside Emacs from one of the
lilypond-mode menus?
As previously stated, I'm typing this in the lilypond-mode.el file.
First, Emacs doesn't use an "open" command to open files, it uses the
sequence Control-x Control-f (C-x C-f [and note the case]). If
lilypond-mode is generating that command, it seems guaranteed to fail.
it works for the pdfs
Are you *sure* it's exactly the same syntax?
Note that your pathname is *un*quoted and *contains* *a* *space*. This
is GUARANTEED to fail if typed at the command line.
Not knowing MacOS, I can't tell you what's the correct way to quote it,
but I'd try putting a backslash before the space.
Cheers,
Wol
