In the interest of improving a great tool, I ask...
I'm sure I'm not the only one using jEdit with LilyPondTool on Mac OS
10 (10.4.11, PPC). I've had a dialogue with Bertalan Fodor (author of
LilyPondTool) concerning its use on the Mac OS. He doesn't have
access to a Mac and consequently finds answering my question difficult.
So, is there anyone using the Mac version of LilyPondTool who has
found a way of successfully invoking convert-ly?
The problem appears to be related to differences in how the Mac and
Windows versions use Python. From what Bertalan has suggested,
LilyPondTool translates "convert-ly" to "<local path to Python>/
convert-ly.py --edit <lilypond file name>".
From the jEdit Activity Log...
9:36:26 AM [notice] AWT-EventQueue-0: '/Users/ssanders/Desktop/test1.ly'
9:36:26 AM [notice] AWT-EventQueue-0: command: convert-ly
[Ljava.lang.String;@98ba6f
9:36:26 AM [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: java.io.IOException: /
Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin//python: not found
9:36:26 AM [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: at
java.lang.UNIXProcess.forkAndExec(Native Method)
The same results are observed if the .py suuffix is included on the
convert-ly command.
I can invoke "lilypond --version" successfully from the jEdit Console
so the path to Lilypond appears to be correct. Invoking "convert-ly --
version" (or convert-ly.py" produces an error message.
I have not found a way to communicate with the contents of /
Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/ (other than
lilypond itself) when using LilyPondTool.
Any solutions?
Stan
