Hi Kieren,
No, I didn't. Frankly, I had no idea that something like that would be
necessary.
There was no separate log-file but I copied he text from the console (I use
TeXShop as the LilyPond editor) and pasted it in the Post Script of this mail.
It speaks of a fatal error but nevertheless generates a nice pdf (with no
improvement of the tie-distances of course). But I should have noticed the
error warnings like " error: unknown escaped string: `\shapeII' " etc.
Anyway, I will follow your advice and download and install the openlilylib
framework on my path.
It is terra incognita for me but I'll have a go at it and if and when I get
stuck I will scream for some more help.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Robert
