Hello (Note: this email uses markdown formatting.)
It's been a while since I've used lilypond, and I had point and click working on another system, but I can't remember what I did. I do remember there were hiccups. Also, it was probably Arch Linux and now the distro I'm using is Ubuntu 22.04, Lilypond version 2.22.2. I want to set up point and click with VS Code, ultimately, and I open the pdf from a terminal emulator with xdg-open (I believe the app that opens it is called "evince" but it just displays "Document Viewer". First I updated the `LYEDITOR` to point to VS Code with its required CLI arguments. ``` ~/Workspace/my-lilypond-project$ lilypond main.ly ~/Workspace/my-lilypond-project$ xdg-open main.pdf ~/Workspace/my-lilypond-project$ export LYEDITOR="code --goto %(file)s:%(line)s:%(column)s" ``` >From there I right-clicked a clickable thing and copied its address to try it out with the CLI: ``` ~/Workspace/my-lilypond-project$ lilypond-invoke-editor textedit:///home/tjb1982/Workspace/my-lilypond-project/./movement-foo/cello.ly:27:107:108 ``` And this worked as expected, so then I went to configure xdg-mime to handle the `x-scheme-handler/textedit` mimetype as per the docs [here](https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/usage/using-gnome-for-point-and-click). ```shell ~/Workspace/my-lilypond-project$ cd /tmp /tmp$ cat <<_EOF > lilypond-invoke-editor.desktop [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=lilypond-invoke-editor GenericName=Textedit URI handler Comment=URI handler for textedit: Exec=lilypond-invoke-editor %u Terminal=false Type=Application MimeType=x-scheme-handler/textedit; Categories=Editor NoDisplay=true _EOF /tmp$ xdg-desktop-menu install ./lilypond-invoke-editor.desktop /tmp$ xdg-mime default lilypond-invoke-editor.desktop x-scheme-handler/textedit /tmp$ cd - ~/Workspace/my-lilypond-project$ lilypond main.ly ~/Workspace/my-lilypond-project$ xdg-open main.pdf ``` >From here, clicking on a clickable item in the pdf results in the console logging: ``` sh: 1: exec: lilypond-invoke-editor: Permission denied ``` I found the thread [here](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2019-02/msg00276.html) where David Sumbler figured out some required configuration for apparmor and evince, so I tried to follow the same process. I already had a file at `/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince`, so I edited the `/usr/bin/evince` section of the file like this: ``` /usr/bin/evince { ... /usr/local/bin/lilypond-invoke-editor Cx -> sanitized_helper, } ``` I ran the parser, double-checked that this is the actual location of `lilypond-invoke-editor`, and restarted the apparmor service: ``` ~$ sudo apparmor_parser -r -T -W /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince ~$ echo $? 0 ~$ which lilypond-invoke-editor /usr/local/bin/lilypond-invoke-editor ~$ sudo systemctl restart apparmor ~$ sudo systemctl status apparmor ● apparmor.service - Load AppArmor profiles Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apparmor.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (exited) since Fri 2024-03-22 09:12:02 EDT; 1s ago Docs: man:apparmor(7) https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/wikis/home/ Process: 24362 ExecStart=/lib/apparmor/apparmor.systemd reload (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 24362 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CPU: 161ms Mar 22 09:12:02 chester systemd[1]: Starting Load AppArmor profiles...

I also tried to stop the apparmor service and then reboot ``` ~$ sudo systemctl stop apparmor ~$ sudo systemctl disable apparmor ``` This didn't have any effect. What should I try next? Thanks, Tom
