I have been using Lilypond with Frescobaldi for a long time now. Recently I
reinstalled Windows (W7 Ult x64), then Lilypond (2.16.2) and Frescobaldi
(2.0.8) and on compiling a .ly file I got the error message:
"Starting lilypond-windows.exe [Szelid szemed_parts.ly]... Exited with
return code 1."
After much headache I discovered that there was a syntax error in the code
(g2' instead of g'2).
What still remains a bothering question is: Why do I not get detailed error
messages about my errors (indicating line number, column, etc.)?
Note1: On my other machine running W7 Home Premium x64, Lilypond 2.14.2 and
Frescobaldi 2.0.8 I get detailed error messages such as:
"Starting lilypond-windows.exe 2.14.2 [Irgalmazz.ly]...
Processing `D:/My Documents/Lilypond/Kottak/Irgalmazz.ly'
Parsing...

<<
error: failed files: "D:/My Documents/Lilypond/Kottak/Irgalmazz.ly"
Exited with return code 1."
Note: On the machine in question in the Lilypond Preferences window on the
Lilypond versions to use list next to the lilypond executable I see a no
entry sign instead of the lily (red circle with a white horizontal line in
the middle), and the version number is not recognized.
You may fire at me for the long message, but I wanted to describe the error
as clearly as possible.
How do I get my lily installation correctly recognized and get the detailed
error messages back?
