Hello, and thank you both for your replies. Yes, it is the lyp program as described above by Mr. Urs Liska. I have a Fedora 31 system and a Windows system as well, but right now I am using the Fedora one. I use vim and call lilypond from the command line - the program gives me the output logs in the terminal.
As I have installed lyp, I thought to have a \require "bravura" and a \bravuraOn as required. When using the lyp-installed lilypond 2.20, it fails to produce a pdf, producing this message instead: " ... Converting to `experiment.pdf'... warning: `(gs -q -dSAFER -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595.28 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=841.89 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r1200 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dAutoRotatePages=/None -dPrinted=false -sOutputFile=experiment.pdf -c.setpdfwrite -f/tmp/lilypond-rX8aP4)' failed (139) fatal error: failed files: "/tmp/lyp/wrappers/experiment.ly" " When I switch to the system version 2.19.84, I get my pdf without any error message, but with the emmentaller font, not bravura. Which means it accepts my directives for bravura but somehow ignores them. This is what I meant. I don't know if it matters, but I tried to install lyp form gem install and it didn't succeed, although I had taken care of all dependencies. Then I used the bash command and it succeeded. so I am using that particular version of lyp. If that matters at all... Thank you both once again, S.A. -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html
