I didn't know that new versions of Finale could export to
an XML format. That seems like the logical way to go at this
point. The pdf file that Han-Wen linked to looks like it
might be the one I saw years ago, although I seem to remember
it being longer.

I bought a copy of Finale about 7 years ago. Because I bought
it, they gave me a license to download and read the documentation
for ETF format, which I did. IIRC, you actually needed to put
in a password on their web site in order to access the docs.
I e-mailed them to ask if they thought it was le
I think the following in the lilypond 2.2 documentation for lilypond-book may not be
correct:
indent=size\unit
sets indentation of the first music system to size, where unit = cm, mm, in, or
pt. This
option affects LilyPond, not the text layout. For single-line fragments, the

Aha! Thanks, that fixed it!
IMO, the sensible default would be ragged last.

The FreeBSD port of lilypond is currently marked broken in
FreeBSD 5.x. This means that FreeBSD 5.x users who try to
install lilypond won't be able to, and will get a message
saying that the port is broken. I've posted a workaround
on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc, which involves patching
the files in
After upgrading from lilypond 2.0 to 2.2, I've been trying to get
my book to compile again, and I think I've solved all the problems
except that all my music now gets typeset ragged right. The following
is a minimal example.
\documentclass{article}

Thanks, all, for the suggestions!
I've downgraded back to 2.0.3, but am incorporating lots of the changes
you all suggested so that a later transition to 2.2.2 will be
more smooth.

I recently upgraded to lilypond 2.2.2 from 2.0, and am having lots and lots

What PDF viewer are you using? I've experienced a problem that
sounds like what you're describing when I used gpdf to view
the output. Works fine with xpdf and Acrobat Reader.
If you could post your pdf output on a web site, other people
could try viewing it.
The situation appears to be like this:
fontforge 29-Oct-2003 works
fontforge 4-Apr-2004 crashes
fontforge 1-Jun-2004 works
So for people who have a version of fontforge that crashes, the
options would be either to upgrade to the very latest version of

Hi All,

reinstalling FreeBSD,
I can no longer get it to work. I've included the tail end of the output below. If I'm

I thought some people on the list might be interested

I don't think this list allows attachments, so we can't see your latex code.
The lilypond-book manual shows examples of how to change the size. Did that
not work for you?

Hi All,
I have a question about how tritones are treated in relative octave mode.
The manual says that by default each interval is made to be a fourth or
less. What happens in the case of a tritone? Is an augmented fourth
treated differently than a diminished fifth, or is it enharmonic?

Thanks for the suggestion! However, it didn't help. I still get the
