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
