I have some further feedback to give you. Indeed, there's no need to reconfigure, as you've said.
However, I notice this: Each time I open a document with lilypond code in it which has previously previewed well, I get the code in document font. There's nothing wrong with the code, since it worked previously AND can outputs correctly as PDF. But if I then change something -- e.g. pressing ENTER at the end, or by adding a blank space there, or by flattening a note, &c -- the code previews correctly. If I then change it back to what it was before, the preview doesn't work again. Now, if I SAVE the file with the code that previews correctly, then open it again, the previews don't work again, so I have to make new changes to make it work. So the gist seems to be this: whatever is in the file, or whatever is some background memory does not preview. Only new changes preview. Now here's something interesting: If I just open a file with code and wait for the preview, I get the code in document font. HOWEVER, if I open the same file and immediately Alt-Tab into another program previously opened (such as Firefox, &c) and THEN Alt-Tab back to Lyx, the previews come up instantly and perfectly. I have absolutely no idea why all of this consistently happen, but I hope this feedback is useful. Julien Rioux-2 wrote: > > On 13/09/2011 10:38 PM, Pablo Zumarán wrote: >> >> Thank you!
