Problem executing example code with LilyPond 2.16.2
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?

You're using code from the 2.17 manuals for the 2.16 version of the program.
Try using the 2.16 manuals.

Re: Problem executing example code with LilyPond 2.16.2
Hello, You use LilyPond 2.16.2 but the syntax you linked comes from 2.17 documentation. Your code compiles without problem using 2.17 version of LilyPond. You could either try the latest 2.17.97 development version, or see the syntax used in the 2.16 documentation.

Ops, that's one of the drawbacks of using Google to find your way around the LilyPond website. I'll be more careful what version of the manuals I'm reading in the future. Anyhow, I upgraded to the latest unstable version, and it works now.
