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.
Nick.
