LilyPond is found and loaded I think.
But this error message is still there

Perhaps it has something to do with \write 18
Yes, it indeed seems so.
This comment is written in t-lypond.tex
%D If \type{\ifeof18} creates an error for you, your pdfetex is too old.
%D just change it to \iftrue then. (\type{\ifeof18} checks whether

The last changes of my pdfetex 16. November 2007, 11:02:39
pdfeTeX has been replaced by pdfTeX (pdfeTeX is only a symlink). It's
not the file date which matters, but the version (pdfTeX --version).
Wiki claims that some things have changed in pdfTeX 1.30, and MikTeX
site claims that MikTeX 2.5 uses 1.30.6, so theoretically it should
work, but who knows.
Also:
The availability of MiKTeX 2.5 ends some time in the not so distant
future: as of a fixed date it will not be possible to install packages
from the remote package repository.
If I right, metapost is using the same mechanism as lilypond.
Metapost/metafun uses some workarounds (i.e.: metapost works even when
write18 is disabled). There are multiple ways to check if write18 is
disabled (some functionality to check that has only beed added
recently to pdfTeX, so it's quite possible that you have an old
pdfTeX, or, it's quite possible that MikTeX behaves slightly
differently - http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/gnuplottex/
has some \ifmiktex switches in the source code, although I'm not sure
if they make any sense apart from checking if one should use touch
or echo to write into file).
So I would suggest you to try two things:
- try to follow the instructions to enable write18:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#write18
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/write18
- try to do what the file says: change all occurencies of \ifeof18 to
\iftrue (or \iffalse - depending on whether write18 is enabled or
not), since it might be that your pdfTeX doesn't support the current
syntax, or it might be that something else weird is happening.
I have no MikTeX here at the moment, so I cannot try, but on a
completely unrelated subject: I remember that while I was stil trying
to enable that module on windows (at the time when it came to
existance), lilypond didn't run properly unless called with full path
(i.e.: one had to call C:\programs\lilypond\bin\lilypond.exe, since
calling only lilypond didn't work). Lilypond developers said that
they didn't know how to fix that, but I hope that it has been resolved
in the meantime.

[NTG-context] help about the EXAMPLE framework
Hello, I'ld like using the tex client/server (called in the past exampler ) described in the wiki page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Cont-exa.zip.

[NTG-context] Gentium Basic/Book
How difficult would it be to adapt the typescript for Gentium (at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TypeScripts) to use the new Gentium Basic for headings Gentium Book Basic for text weights (both have Roman, Bold Roman, Italic, Bold Italic) -- but with reverting to Gentium for characters that aren't in the Basic fonts? --Joel ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] Gentium Basic/Book
Guess I asked for too much at once. I've downloaded the Gentium Basic/Basic Book set of fonts from http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium_basic, and I'd like to use them with ConTeXt. I ran texfont (with the command line texfont --fontroot=c:\users\chesky\programs\context\tex\texmf-local --sourcepath=... --vendor=sil --collection=gentium --makepath --install), and now running texexec on the newly generated texnansi-sil-gentium.tex produces some sort of glyph list. Now I'm trying to adapt the typescript from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TypeScripts for the new set of fonts. (I intend to use only utf-8 input files, if that matters any.) I'd like to use Gentium Basic as the titling font and Gentium Book Basic as the text font, with regular, italic, bold, bold-italic all available in the normal fashion. But I find I don't know what I'm doing. Has anyone yet tried to use the new fonts with ConTeXt? --Joel ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Rather than using texfont (half-broken anyway), use XeTeX or LuaTeX.

One possibility would be to use: - Gentium for Roman Italic - Gentium Basic for Bold Bold Italic (and hope that you won't need any special characters for titles) Mojca ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] Context and Lilypond on Miketex with TeXnicCenter
Hallo I have updatet my system to Miketex 2.6 The compilation with lilyponds works without error-message. Now there is another problem. I can't compile on C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Ulrich Wrede\Eigene Dateien The path is splitting in processing dokument 'Dokumente' processing dokument 'und' an so on. If i compile on C:\ root everything works but the outpput is on C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Ulrich Wrede\Eigene Dateien. So at least the pdf document is not created. There is: LaTeX2-lilypond-1-1.eps LaTeX2-lilypond-1-1.pdf with the notes. but no LateX2.pdf with the notes.
