I'm a relative newbie to Lilypond,
using 2.16.2-1 on Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
I want to try some modifications,
and am trying to work through the tutorial in:
Manuals > Extending > Scheme Tutorial.
I haven't been able to get the scheme-sandbox to work.
I've downloaded:
lilypond-2.16.2-1.darwin-x86.tar.bz2 Dated Jan 4, 2013, 3:47 pm
and copied the file:
lilypond.app
to my Application folder: Macintosh HD /Applications
I can start Lilypond from the Terminal window with:
MacTechDaddy:~ josephaustin$ open -a lilypond.app
create a script with the following contents (the exec line is 1 line!):
#!/bin/bash
exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond /
Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/ly/
scheme-sandbox.ly
make sure it is in your path and set to excutable (chmod u+x). This
will get you in the sandbox right-away. Alternatively you can make a
script to call Lilypond:
#!/bin/bash
exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@"
and do:
lilypond scheme-sandbox.ly
The sandbox-file can be editied to contain files to be loaded, so you
should look to the directory, path, etc. Make a copy first.
But when I try to start the sandbox, I get a "file not found" error:
MacTechDaddy:~ josephaustin$ open -a lilypond.app scheme-sandbox
The file /Users/josephaustin/scheme-sandbox does not exist.
Is there something missing from my Lilypond installation?
or do I need a different command syntax?
Otherwise, Lilypond seems to be working.
It generates scores, and even outputs scheme per the tutorial, for
example:
{
#(with-output-to-file "C.txt"
(lambda () #{ \displayMusic { c'4\f } #}))
}
(The scheme output goes to C.txt in the same directory as the
source .ly file.)
Any help will be appreciated.
Joe
