Frescobaldi is having problems with file paths that have question marks and accented characters. Given a file named “song.ly” with just this content: %%%% \version "2.19" \fixed c' { c d e f } %%%% Frescobaldi shows the PDF after engraving if this file is in either of the following directories: Helló/ Hello?/ But Frescobaldi does not show the PDF if song.ly is in a directory named Helló?/ And yes, I use the fully punctuated song titles as the enclosing directory name. macOS handles it, no problem. I even use bash scripts to process these files without a hiccup. The following are all examples of directory names I use: ¡Gloria! ¡Gloria!/ Bendiciones, ¡Cuántas Tienes Ya!/ Señor, ¿Quién Entrará?/ This problem is not present in Frescobaldi 2.20. David
