See activity log about the problem" I think you have an error in the path and/or commands in the lilypondtool options. In jEdit, go to Plugins; Plugin Options and select LilyPondTool in the tree view (left-hand part of the window). The main settings and my actual entries are: General: Path to LilyPond binary: /usr/local/bin External PDF viewer: evince Use the complex parser: yes Enable experimental features: yes Commands: Lilypond command: lilypond Default Lilypond arguments: [blank] convert-ly command: convert-ly Python executable: python GhostScript command: gs If you are not sure where lilypond is actually installed, open a terminal and do: $ whereis lilypond The main choices will be /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin or ~/bin and you need to change the 'Path to Lilypond binary' setting accordingly (in the General settings, above). Restart jEdit and try the test file again.
