Hello everybody,
maybe it's a little late to warm up an old thread, but I had to
struggle
with a similar problem:

When I hit the lilypond button the console popped up as usual to run
Lilypond, finished correctly and disappeared. The OOoLP dialogue
stayed
open. When I looked at the LP output, everything had compiled fine.
There were no errors.
Debugging the macro, I found in the OOoLilypond/Make routine that
after
compilation it was looking for OOoLilyPond.eps in the temp directory.
In
reality I had OOoLilyPond-1.eps, OOoLilyPond-2.eps and
OOoLilyPond-3.eps
... but no OOoLilyPond.eps, so the routine just exited. I commented
this
out since the only file I'm interested in is OOoLilyPond.png which was
there, and was included next. Debugging further kept throwing out
errors
in LibreBasic ... so I gave up.
Current state is that its now inserting the image ... but holding the
image source open (even if I delete the image from the document). This
means that the next run of OOoLP fails because it can't delete the
source from the previous run.
I have OpenOffice 4.1.3 and OooLilyPond 0.4.0 running on Windows 7, and
I
use them a lot.
Everything works fine as long as I use LilyPond 2.18.2, but I never got
it
to work with any 2.19 version.
Apparently, LP 2.18 produces an EPS file and converts it into a PNG
file.
Both files are kept.
With LP 2.19 (invoked by the same command) there is no EPS file with
the
same file name.
Unfortunately, OooLilyPond always checks the presence of the EPS file
(and
exits if there's none), no matter if it's told to use the PNG or the
EPS
file.
The easiest way I found was to change the way LilyPond is called, in a
way
that there really is an EPS file present.
In the OooLilyPond macros, there is a section "LilyPond" containing a
function named "CallLilyPond()".
For composing the Windows command, there is a line that reads:
----------
sCommand = sCommand & " " & sBackendOpt & " -f png -dresolution=" &
iGraphicDPI & " OOoLilyPond.ly >OOoLilyPond.out 2>&1" &Chr(10)
----------
This line should be replaced by:
----------
sCommand = sCommand & " -dno-delete-intermediate-files --png " &
sBackendOpt
& " -dresolution=" & iGraphicDPI & " OOoLilyPond.ly >OOoLilyPond.out
2>&1"
&Chr(10)
----------
I've tested that with LP 2.18.2, LP 2.19.37 and LP 2.19.51, and it
worked
with all three versions.
By the way, I have no idea of how to use the command line parameters...
instead, I simply experimented with Frescobaldi and "stole" its output.
;-)
I hope that this information is useful for some people. OooLilyPond is
a
great tool and has literally saved my life so many times.
How did OOoLP accomplish this? - by distracting an axe murderer who
loves beautiful scores thus giving you enough time to escape? OOoLP
giving you external heart massage after a heart attack?
Good tip . . bad English . .
