Sounds like your working directory is not writable by your user. Run "ls -ld" to show you the permissions of your working directory. If it is not owned by you, perhaps you should change it or use a directory that is writable by you. Simon - Original Message - From: "Tyler Eaves" <[EMAIL

Is there only one staff line on the second page? This appears to be a bug. If there is one staff line on the last page, the tagline is printed on the second to last page instead of the last page. The footer is printed on the last page. I am using 1.6.11. Simon > 4) setting the spacing-increment

I have a problem with footers. If there is one staff line on the last page, the tagline is printed on the second to last page instead of the last page. I am using 1.6.11 since I haven't been able to get 1.8.0 working yet (cygwin) - if this has already been fixed in 1.8.0, great. Below is a simple

I just got that as well. You have to use the develpment (I assume) cygwin (1.5.1-1 instead of 1.3.22-1) - under Base. This is because the cygipc is now at version 2.01-1 and is supposedly not stable or functional (I forget which) under 1.3.22. Of course, that said, I get Signal 11's from both 1.7.2

I found another problem with Cygwin & 1.7.27. The following code dumps core (signal 11). If I take out the midi block, it works fine. If I change it from TabStaff/TabVoice to Staff/Voice, it also works fine. Is this a new restriction? At first I thought it was having a tempo in the midi section. S

Ok. Fixed the paper problem. Now I have another issue. I use a makefile to generate my scores and in 1.6.8, ly2dvi seemed to correctly exit with an error code if lilypond (or some other sub-process) failed. It is now exiting with a status of 0 when lilypond fails. It looks like it means to do the

Ok, did that. I've got 1.7.27 installed. It works on simple files. Here's my first problem (this is now the only line in the file): \include "letter-init.ly" Produces the following errors (I left the line wraps in there): [EMAIL PROTECTED] lily]$ ly2dvi --verbose -p 3 ly2dvi (GNU LilyPond) 1.7.2

Re: creating a context??

If the range is only an octave, you could pick the note in the middle of the range and use that as the starting point. The following will give you an ascending scale and descending scale: song = \notes \relative a' { e f g a b c d } The other thing you could do is write in octave 0 and transp

Re: creating a context??

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but... When in relative mode, you use ' and , to notate a range more than a fourth: bass = \notes \relative c, { e2. g a c4. g'4.\4 fis e } The second g is an octave higher than the first g. The f sharp is a half step down from that (on

I'm notating some guitar music and would love to get rid of the warnings I get from string numbers on the staff and glissando's on the tabulature. I'm used to lint so I don't like to see any warnings. I've included a couple of the warnings. Also, I'd like to keep the tab staff clean, so I turned
