Thanks David. The reference to SCM had me convinced the problem was in init.ly but as you pointed out it was simply a missing concluding closing brace in document.ly.
Simple typos in the user.ly file often produce errors citing SCM - it is good practice to first look for an error in the user.ly file. Digging for it using judicious %s to comment out lines until you find the offending article. I will erect a large notice to remind me....:) regards Peter Gentry _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
