Hi Joram,
Frescobaldi sure can execute the program executable files from any of
the locations. If you go to the configure menu and look into the
section of configuring Lilypond you will see there is a possibility to
set the locations of the executables (of lilypond, convert-ly and
lilypond-book). Test it by putting in something else (try /usr/bin/
ddate or /usr/bin/less, or any other harmless command, remember what
you do so you can revert it). In the conversation window in
Frescobaldi you will then probably see an error-message associated
with the command. That proves it executed another executable.
Be aware if you specify more then one version of Lilypond here,
Frescobaldi will notice and search for an matching executable. Guard
the version numbers reported to be sure. Your conclusion is definitely
wrong, I repeat: check the paths!
Regards,
Wim.

Hi Noeck,
I think that problem does point you really to the paths configured.
Check (on Linux or OSX, sorry I don't use Wxx for this) these
command-line commands:
$ which lilypond
$ which convert-ly
$ lilypond --version
$ convert-ly --version
(Wxx doesn't know the "which" commands, but should produce output
with
the --version switches)
Check for consistency in paths, versions, etc. Match it with what
Frescobaldi tells you (menu settings -- configure Frescobaldi).
If the convert-ly (menu Lilypond -- source -- etc.) stays greyed out,
check if you did not already convert it (once is enoough!), next run
should produce a window stating this file is already up-to-date,
Frescobaldi might also puts some comments in your file to remember
this.
Try setting the version-number in the file to something else.
Regards,
Wim.
(mail me the output if you have troubled interpreting)
Thanks, but that's not directly the problem, because it doesn't occur
with the lilypond version from the package repositories (ubuntu).
So "which" surely points me to that one installed in /usr/bin. But the
other two installations don't work.
I looked at it a bit more closely and there are some things I don't
understand:
I have three versions 2.14 (from the repository), 2.16 and 2.17 (from
the website):
2.14 2.16 2.17
installed in /usr/bin /home/.../sw/lilypond2.1x
convert-ly is a py-script is a link to lilypond-wrapper.python
This lilypond-wrapper then calls another convert-ly, which is then a
python script.
This led me to the conclusion that the "executables" in bin cannot be
used in Frescobaldi, but the ones in lilypond/usr/bin have to be used.
But that doesn't work either.
Cheers,
Joram
