Andrew, Thank you very much for the tip! I just installed VirtualBox and Lilypond worked instantly!Qemu is actually a good virtual machine and I have been using it for years with no problems at all, so I never suspected that there was some problem with interaction between Qemu and Lilypon

Hi David, I have zero experience of Qemu but it appears to be quite a low level sort of virtual machine environment. Could you consider running Virtualbox instead? Works very nicely under Windows with Debian, and lilypond runs just fine in that world. You certainly should not be absolutely req

Ah, ha. That does it! Putting the \transposition in the score (in front of \trumpetNotes, \clarinetNotes, \altoSaxNotes) is counter-intuitive since those "music variables" are already in concert pitch. Interesting. Anyway, that's exactly what I needed. Thanks so much! -Russ On Sun, Aug 2, 201

Hi, There’s no problem with the 2.19.24 downloads. In both situations you show, there is an error with tar thinking the files are bz2 files. You must have an odd configuration for tar defaults on your system. I suggest you look into that. The files are fine on Fedora 22. By the way, the tar fi

I may have mis-understood Malte about entering the parts in concert pitch. If your intent was that they are entered in instrument pitches, then cool - but unfortunately your example doesn't work anyway. Trumpet part prints as instead of , clarinet prints as ADAA instead of GCGG, and the a
