I can't reproduce that (I have w7) - can you run this batch as a
command-line-command and maybe add -V(verbose) and then copy the whole
log!?
I looked up "head-separation-default" in the code. It was formerly used in
'paper-defaults-init.ly' but had been unused for a while, then completely
removed by version 2.13.40
Somehow, your simple scores are referring to variables from an old version
of Lilypond. Maybe you have an old copy of 'paper-defaults-init.ly' in
the
directory holding your scores ? (If you have files with the same names
as
LilyPond's startup files, stored with your score, she will think you want
to
use your custom versions instead of the files that came with lilypond.)
If that is the problem, probably adding -drelative-includes=#t to your
batch file will solve it.
(And tell us, however you do solve it.)
Thank you to you and Eluze for your help....
Turns out the problem was caused by Windows Vista ownerships (and a pain
that is). Although I am the only user on my computer, and with
administrative privileges, I'm not the administator. When I was using
2.13.17 I made an entry in the paper-alist in paper.scm for a Kindle paper
size. Uninstalling that version of lilypond didn't remove paper.scm
(different ownership) and it remained invisible to all but a few text
editors - which was how I discovered it. Installing a later version of
lilypond produced two copies of paper.scm (with different ownerships) and
every time I ran lilypond it would run the older version of paper.scm.
Deleting the older copy of paper.scm solved the problem.
Sorry for the noise.
Regards,
Phil.
