Thanks, Graham. I failed to mention that the -dbackend=eps option works outside of OOo. I verified that before making the changes to Subs.xba.
I think this is some other script error inside OOoLilypond passing a bad value to Lilypond, but I don't have a clue from the LilyPond error message where to look. Even thinking about using LaTeX and LilyPondBook gives me chills. And while LilyPond is great at handling musical notation, it is horrible at handling text outside of a score (which is completely understandable - because that's not what it's designed for). OOoLilypond looks like it could be a real production tool for laying out hymnbooks and worship services, etc., by combining the strengths of LilyPond and OOoWriter. I'm really excited to see if I can get it working and try it out. Paul On 3/4/07, Paul Harouff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Okay, I edited Subs.xba and replaced -b eps with -dbackend=eps in all four places. Then I deleted the macro in OOo and reinstalled it, so it would load the changes. Now, I get the following error: GNU LilyPond 2.11.20 ERROR: In procedure symbol->string ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting symbol): #t The template file has the following: \include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly" #(set-global-staff-size 20) \paper { #(define dump-extents #t) ragged-right = ##t line-width = 7.5\in } \layout { indent = #0 } { % ly snippet contents follows: c' d' e' % end ly snippet } Paul -----Original Message----- From: Graham Percival [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2007 6:05 PM To: Paul Harouff Cc: 'Johan Vromans'; lilypond-user@gnu.org Subject: Re: -b eps option (was RE: OOolilypond and openoffice 2.1) Paul Harouff wrote: > My problem is Lilypond 2.11.20 is not recognizing either > -b eps or --backend=eps so the code fragment won't compile. Please see the NEWS for 2.11. Cheers, - Graham
