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.
The path quoted is not something I have control over, that is the
output copied directly from emacs.
That is the problem: emacs does not correctly escape pathnames when
upening a MIDI file.
I thought I made that clear, but everyone else here is discussing
bash, and not how lilypond-mode opens a MID file.
Does anyone else have this problem? Can anyone else reproduce this
issue (using the command midi C-c <return> or even Midi all C-c <C-
return>) errors when opening a file with a space in the path?
