I've had some trouble with changing parameters in LilyPond, so I tried out some example code from the manual.
In section 4.2.1 <http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/learning/properties-of-layout-objects> of the LilyPond Learning Manual, I found the following example code, which is meant to demonstrate how to change a property of a layout object (this is directly copy-and-pasted from the manual): { \key es \major \time 6/8 { % Increase thickness of all following slurs from 1.2 to 5.0 \override Slur.thickness = #5.0 r4 bes8 bes[( g]) g | g8[( es]) es d[( f]) as | as8 g } \addlyrics { The man who | feels love's sweet e -- | mo -- tion } } When commenting out the \override line, everything compiles fine for me in LilyPond 2.16.2. However, when uncommenting it (and therefore, running the example code in its entirety) I get the following error message: Test.ly:6:29: error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting SCM_FUNCTION or SCM_IDENTIFIER or SCM_TOKEN \override Slur.thickness = #5.0 Test.ly:6:31: warning: Ignoring non-music expression \override Slur.thickness = #5.0 Test.ly:1:0: error: errors found, ignoring music expression What is going on here? -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Problem-executing-example-code-with-LilyPond-2-16-2-tp156615.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
