I run into this exact situation every so often. Almost every time
there winds up being something quite spectacularly off in my rhythmic
input.
I think you're hitting on crashes that are triggered due to your
unorthodox
rhythms. The process log window in the macos X version is not so
sophisticated,
so it doesn't properly print error messages for core dumps and
similar.
Still, if you can manage to reproduce any of this, please send me
an offending
input.
Well, I found the offending input, and it appears to be something
completely different all together:
It appears to be unterminated slurs that are the offending input, but
only as of lilypond 2.11.x, and only at bar lines.
Here's an example:
Using 2.11.5, lilypond stops at the "Preprocessing graphical
objects..." and outputs no .ps/.pdf when compiling this expression:
{d'4 cis' d' cis'(}
However, THIS expression (slur beginning moved back one note) results
in only a warning in the console about an unterminated slur, but
the .ps/.pdf is created and displayed:
{d'4 cis' d'( cis'}
Using 2.10.5, both of these expressions are compiled to completion
and the .pdf is opened. Both return the "unterminated slur" warning,
but finish anyway. In the case where the slur is begun on the last
note of the measure using 2.10.5, the slur is merely not drawn on the
output.
This issue made itself evident to me because my scores are often
hundreds of measures long, and when tweaking them I often comment out
all but 5 or 10 bars at a time.
Hope this is of some significance for you.
