[Rosegarden-user] Lilypond fails with B-flat chord (bes:)

2014-07-20 Thread Bradford Smith
Hi guys,

I'm trying to use the chord names defined here.

http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/tutorials/supplemental/chordnames/

in rosegarden Version 13.06 Qt version: 4.8.4 Build key: c672d106a8

with lilypond 2.16.2

However, every time I try to enter a B-flat (bes:) the print preview
fails with this error message.

Ran lilypond successfully, but it terminated with errors.

Questons

1. Am I spelling this chord wrong somehow?

2. How can I see the output from lilypond for hints at what I'm doing wrong?

I've run rosegarden from the command line, but the error output from
lilypond doesn't seem to go to the terminal with rosegarden's output.

I'm attaching an example file.

Thanks,

Bradford

 1. Am I spelling this chord wrong somehow?

The spelling bes: is correct when LilyPond language is set to Nederlands in 
the export/preview dialog.

How to spell in other languages is given here :

 2. How can I see the output from lilypond for hints at what I'm doing wrong?
 
You have to use the export to LilyPond menu (from the RG main window) to get a 
LilyPond source file.
Then you can run LilyPond from the command line and see possible error 
messages.

Your example displayed and printed fine here. Using RG 14.02 and 
LilyPond 2.18.0 on Aptosid (Debian Sid based).
