Since nobody has come up with an answer or comment, I forward the issue to bug-lilypond.
/Mats -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Command line option -e Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2005 18:58:15 +0200 From: John Mandereau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: LilyPond users list <lilypond-user@gnu.org> Hi, I use LilyPond 2.6.1 on Fedora Core 4 and I'd like to use the -e command line option, which makes lilypond evaluate a Scheme expression. I'd like examples of this option usage are given in the documentation, because I didn't manage to use it. In fact I'd like to set paper size or other options from the command line. Chris Sawer's post on 11 Nov 2004 about the same problem (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2004-11/msg00186.html) didn't get any answer. Here's the terminal output: [bash test]$ lilypond -e \(set-default-paper-size "a4"\) test3.ly GNU LilyPond 2.6.1 ERROR: In procedure list: ERROR: end of file [bash test]$ lilypond -e \(set-default-paper-size \"a4\"\) test3.ly GNU LilyPond 2.6.1 ERROR: In procedure list: ERROR: end of file [bash test]$ lilypond -e \(set-default-paper-size \"a4\"\) GNU LilyPond 2.6.1 ERROR: In procedure list: ERROR: end of file [bash test]$ lilypond -e \(set-global-staff-size 23\) test3.ly GNU LilyPond 2.6.1 ERROR: In procedure list: ERROR: end of file I also tried the same commands with replacing '-e ' by '--evaluate=', and got the same result. -- John Mandereau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user -- ============================================= Mats Bengtsson Signal Processing Signals, Sensors and Systems Royal Institute of Technology SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Sweden Phone: (+46) 8 790 8463 Fax: (+46) 8 790 7260 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.s3.kth.se/~mabe ============================================= _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
