Do you mean multiple LilyPond source files in different tabs?  This
works for me on Windows 10.

Concur on Score Wizard for 3.1 and latest Win10 (updated 12/16). Toolbar
button, menu, and keystrokes all ineffective.

Is there a log somewhere we can use?

I had also an error after installing Frescobaldi 3.1. I deinstalled the
program and installed 3.1 again. This time it started  without any error.

Thanks a lot for Frescobaldi

Hello,

I was wondering about this new v3.1 for Windows 10. Another thread discusses
how users likely need to uninstall Frescobaldi 3 before 'updating' to this
new version. Is this the only way to avoid that error on startup?

By doing this uninstall, you lose all configuration settings in Frescobaldi,
all options, snippets, everything.
This seems risky to me, especially for new users who maybe wouldn't expect
that behavior. They would lose all their settings, templates, snippets, etc
as they update to v3.1 in this way. 

Just wanted to see if there was any other way to update Windows 10
Frescobaldi v3.1 from v3.0 without having to uninstall and lose all previous
configurations/program settings/snippets.

Thanks!

Hi Ming,

I just installed Frescobaldi 3.1 on Win10. When launching for the first
time, I had the same error message. 
Maybe I should have de-installed Frescobaldi 3.0 before?

So I de-installed Frescobaldi 3.1 and just re-installed it again. Now it
works. 

Does that help? 

Cheers, 
Klaus

Ubuntu 16.04 is a LTS release with (IIRC) five years of support.
So it
is not unreasonable for someone to use it. However, we (Frescobaldi)
seem to have been hit by this five-year term since we're dealing
with a
change in the Qt framework that has phased out support for a
module over
(again, IIRC) 2-3 years. So all *current* Linux distributions ship
with
a Qt version that only includes QtWebEngine and not QtWebKit anymore.
There has been a range of Qt versions including both.

The question is whether a project like Frescobaldi can reasonably be
expected to actively support such an old OS, even if it's LTS. I'd
assume that lTS guarantees you security patches but not that every
new
software will run.

Before upgrading to a newer OS it might be an option to use a current
Qt/PyQt downloaded or compiled from somewhere. @Simon you could do
us a
huge favor by exploring that possibility and providing information
about
it for the Wiki.
In addition it would be good to have a list of distributions that
include the "new" module, both modules, or only the "old" modules
(i.e.
won't work with Frescobaldi 3.1).

Urs


As I've said before, I'm a novice at command line Linux, but I'm 
attaching a screenshot of my command line search (locate) for 
QtWebEngine and QtWebKit. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.


Hope this helps,



You should not "locate" package files but use "apt" (the package 
manager) for that (as Knute has also pointed out).


As I tried to say earlier you can simply follow the instructions on 
Frescobaldi's Wiki:


|# install dependencies sudo apt install python3-pyqt5 
python3-pyqt5.qtsvg python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine python3-poppler-qt5 git |


Then clone the repositories:

|# clone repositories mkdir ~/git cd ~/git git clone 
https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi git clone 
https://github.com/wbsoft/python-ly |


(you may change the directories if you want)

and finally create a wrapper script to properly start your Git-Frescobaldi:

|# create wrapper script # (make sure ~/bin exists and is in the search 
path (or adapt)) echo "#!/bin/bash" > ~/bin/frescobaldi echo 
"PYTHONPATH=~/git/python-ly:$PYTHONPATH python3

Re: ANN: Frescobaldi 3.1 has been released!

[Knute Snortum]

I have my own question.  In the INSTALL document it states that
Poppler 0.82.0 or greater is required.  On my Ubuntu 19.10 system I
have only version 0.80.0 and I'm having trouble building it from
source.  Also, my Poppler seem to be tied to python3-poppler-qt which
is at 0.24.2-3build5.

So will building Poppler by itself mess up my system?  What will
happen with Poppler below its required version?

Try this.  First type in

sudo apt update

Enter your password.  Then type in

apt search qtwebengine

You should be able to scroll your output with a mouse.  If not, try typing

apt search qtwebengine | less

Now you can page up and down.  Look for something like
"python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine". Type "q" to exit.

If you found it, then type

sudo apt install python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine

Hello Wilbert and Davide,

Thanks a lot for the great job issuing this Frescobaldi 3.1 release!

I’ve switched to it on Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave, which still allows 32bit apps to 
be run), and it runs fine.
Will let you know should any issue arise.

A happy new year 2020 to all lilyponders!

Ubuntu 16.04 is a LTS release with (IIRC) five years of support. So it 
is not unreasonable for someone to use it. However, we (Frescobaldi) 
seem to have been hit by this five-year term since we're dealing with a 
change in the Qt framework that has phased out support for a module over 
(again, IIRC) 2-3 years. So all *current* Linux distributions ship with 
a Qt version that only includes QtWebEngine and not QtWebKit anymore. 
There has been a range of Qt versions including both.


The question is whether a project like Frescobaldi can reasonably be 
expected to actively support such an old OS, even if it's LTS. I'd 
assume that lTS guarantees you security patches but not that every new 
software will run.


Before upgrading to a newer OS it might be an option to use a current 
Qt/PyQt downloaded or compiled from somewhere. @Simon you could do us a

In addition it would be good to have a list of distributions that

Thank you Wilbert and the team.

With an existing Ubuntu 19.04 Frescobaldi 3.0.0 installation, all I
had to do was install from the tarball and add the following:

apt install python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine

since the majority of the dependencies I already have in place. I hope
this tiny sliver of information may be helpful to some.

All works fine.

I tried to give it a go under Windows anyway - following the notes in INSTALL - 
but there are quite a few obstacles:
- PyQt5-5.14.0 (the version chosen by pip on my box) does not seem to include 
QtWebKitWidgets
- I have not found binaries of either Poppler or python-poppler-qt5. Would 
these need to be build from the sources? (just asking before I embark on that 
journey)

Kind regards,

As to the Qt stuff, I find using synaptic ("sudo apt install

Slightly less friendly, but a hell of a lot more informative. For 
example, searching synaptic for "qtweb" reveals "libqt5webengine5" 
among other things.  That's what you would want, if you don't already 
have it.

Hi Ralph,

Frescobaldi 3.1 will *eventually* end up in the repositories of the 
various distributions, but that's beyond our control.


On Ubuntu 18.04 it is very simple to "install" Frescobaldi directly from 
the Git repository. The section "Step-by-step Instructions" on 
https://github.com/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/wiki/Run-Frescobaldi-3-on-Linux 
should quickly walk you through the process. Depending on the Desktop 
you have the section "Menu or Desktop Starter" should work too to get 
you the usual Desktop experience.


This would allow you to regularly update Frescobaldi without waiting for 
new releases. And it would enable you to do feature testing when new 
stuff is available.

greatly appreciate some further advice about how, what, and where

For example, do I need to separately download and install Python

Hi,

The basics:

A tarball is like a zip file. What I usually do from the command line:

tar tzvf frescobaldi-3.1.tar.gz | less

That will show what's in the tarball without extracting anything. 
(t=test, z=compress and decompress with gzip, v=be verbose, f=the 
following is the name of the file to act upon). The "| less" on the 
end makes sure that it doesn't scroll off the screen faster than you 
can read. (I actually use "| most" but that requires you to "sudo apt 
install most" first.) Cursor up and down through the list to get an 
idea about where it will put all those files. Sometimes (rarely) 
packagers will do something silly, like not putting all the files to 
be unpacked in their own subdirectory. So, when you unpack, it 
clutters up whatever directory you're in. Being able to test first, 
will help you determine if you need to create a subdirectory yourself, 
and move the tarball into it before unpacking. Once you're satisfied 
that the tarball is "sane", type "q" to quit either "less" or "most". 
(In this case you will see that the tarball is sane: The tarball will 
create a subdirectory "frescobaldi-3.1/" with all the files.  So, to 
actually unpack, change the "t for test" to "x for extract":


tar xzvf frescobaldi-3.1.tar.gz

In the tarball you'll find a file named INSTALL.  Read it to get the 
"lowdown" on how to manually install it on your system. You will also 
find that file at:

Oops. My elderly, beer-soaked brain: Upon actually reading ALL of your
message instead of merely skimming, I see you've already gotten to the
INSTALL file.

So.  More carefully this time.

I downloaded the tarball, but I'm unsure where to put it and/or extract it.

Type "python3" at the command prompt.  If it works, you don't need to
install Python 3.

When you type "ls -l frescobaldi" from within the directory where you
unpacked the tarball, you may note that it has the executable permissions
already set.  So, you can try:

./frescobaldi

(Note the period at the start of the line.) If it works, then you've got
everything you need, and you can proceed to either the of the following:

sudo python3 setup.py install
python3 setup.py install --prefix=/usr

Basically, just do what the INSTALL says, and if it gives you an error,
then start to explore what dependencies, etc are missing.

As to the Qt stuff, I find using synaptic ("sudo apt install synaptic") a

A tarball is like a zip file. What I usually do from the command line:

tar tzvf frescobaldi-3.1.tar.gz | less

That will show what's in the tarball without extracting anything. (t=test,
z=compress and decompress with gzip, v=be verbose, f=the following is the
name of the file to act upon). The "| less" on the end makes sure that it
doesn't scroll off the screen faster than you can read. (I actually use "|
most" but that requires you to "sudo apt install most" first.) Cursor up
and down through the list to get an idea about where it will put all those
files. Sometimes (rarely) packagers will do something silly, like not
putting all the files to be unpacked in their own subdirectory. So, when
you unpack, it clutters up whatever directory you're in. Being able to test
first, will help you determine if you need to create a subdirectory
yourself, and move the tarball into it before unpacking. Once you're
satisfied that the tarball is "sane", type "q" to quit either "less" or
"most". (In this case you will see that the tarball is sane: The tarball
will create a subdirectory "frescobaldi-3.1/" with all the files.  So, to
actually unpack, change the "t for test" to "x for extract":

tar xzvf frescobaldi-3.1.tar.gz

In the tarball you'll find a file named INSTALL.  Read it to get the
"lowdown" on how to manually install it on your system. You will also find
that file at:

https://github.com/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/blob/master/INSTALL
Hope that helps.

P.S. I have a musically-inclined, technically-inclined buddy in Barre, VT
who on occasion wanders south to Brattleboro. A bit of a wild man, Paul
"Hurricane" Flint, as I like to call him. He's the "proprietor" of
http://bosivt.org/ and http://docbox.flint.com:8081/geekland which he
believes to be sanely organized. ;-) And host of the Monday night Linux
"Adult Swim" every week.

Many thanks to all of you. I use Frescobaldi so much.

I confess that I'm a bit of a novice regarding installation via tarball.

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.

I cannot find Frescobaldi 3.1 in my Ubuntu Software app.

I downloaded the tarball, but I'm unsure where to put it and/or extract it.
I tried putting it in its own directory in my /home directory, then
extracting it there, but I still cannot figure out how to install it, even
after reading the install file. I would greatly appreciate some further
advice about how, what, and where I need to install Frescobaldi 3.1 and
associated  required files. For example, do I need to separately download
and install Python 3.8.1? If I'm installing on my machine, do I need
QtWebEngine? (I can't find that through Ubuntu Software, either.) Or should
I wait until the Ubuntu Software application recognizes Frescobaldi 3.1?

(I *am* trying to learn Linux from the command line, but it takes a while
and my elderly brain is slow on the uptake.)

Many thanks to everyone who helps so much with Lilypond and Frescobaldi!

All the best,

Ralph
