Then I think that's the filename you need to use. I assume "Starting lilypond-windows…" means you're running on a windows box. > I just changed the original "\" with the unix "/" for Frescobaldi to deal > with (//192.168.0.13/Public/test.ly) > I think it is named SMB right? Samba implements SMB on unix, yes, but programs on windows should use their own filename syntax to reference the files transparently. In linux, you'd typically see something like //192.168.0.13/Public if you were mounting a share as a client. Similarly you could only hand a filename like //192.168.0.13/Public/test.ly to a client that already knew what protocol to use, like smbclient. So try using the filename you wanted to specify, rather than second guessing the way the system deals with it. I'd be interested to know your results.
