Hi Karlin!
I got some font errors during the lilypond compile: "warning: no glyph for character U+9F in font [...] ./texgyreschola- [*]" (Square brackets with placeholders for brevity.) Looks my setup is choking on the German ß sharp-S thing.
Lilypond handles utf-8 characters, and the texgyre fonts include those characters. Your font setup seems to be seriously broken.
Hmm... if everything else is the same after patching, any chance this could be included in the standard lilypond code? Or maybe that's what you have in mind, and just want more people to try it out first? I think this would be a great feature to have standard.
Yes: It would be nice if lilypond could produce videos. No: I don't think that this code should be part of lilypond. Although it works pretty well for me I have to admit that it is a hackish solution of a problem I had. Maybe it would be a good idea to introduce some additional hooks into lilypond that would eliminate the need to patch lilypond. But contributing code to lilypond is complex and time-consuming.
All the dependencies, though... might be a bit much to include in the standard lilypond setup?
Yes.
And it turns out Debian does not have usleep but rather sleepenh. I ended up doing... ln -s /usr/bin/sleepenh /usr/bin/usleep
Thanks for reporting.
Is there a way to set a path for the patched lilypond when running the mkvideo script? Or a definition to edit somewhere? I looked around a little in the mkvideo code, but my limited bash script skills didn't pick anything up.
Patching some scm/ps files definitely does not change the lilypond binary. No need to change PATH. If you want to keep separate set of patched and unpatched files you could use "lilypond -ddatadir=/path/to/set/" to use that set not used by default.
