Hi All,
I had lilypond 2.0.3 working on my FreeBSD 5.2 system before, but now, after
reinstalling FreeBSD,
I can no longer get it to work. I've included the tail end of the output below. If I'm
interpreting
the output correctly, it appears to be crashing in FontForge, which I think is being
run
>Yes, you have a problem with fontforge, please follow up there.
Done.

Thanks for the suggestion! A few notes in case other FreeBSD-ers
who experience the problem are reading the mailing list archives:
First, make s
OK, I finally got lilypond to install on FreeBSD 5.2. There is a bug in
the file mf/GNUMakefile, which requires the following patch:
#wget --passive-ftp -P $(outdir)
ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/RedHat-9/$(redhat-package)
wget --passive-ftp -P $(outdir)
http://www.lilypond.o
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
fontforge (more recent than the one in the F
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.
I recently upgraded to lilypond 2.2.2 from 2.0, and am having lots and lots
of problems with recompiling a book I wrote using lilypond-book

any help from people on the list with getting it working again.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

Thanks to the folks who attempted to help me compile Lilypond from
source, but I gave up and installed a Mandrake RPM I found at
http://www.hklpg.org/RPM/mandrake/8.1/contrib/RPMS/lilypond-1.4.2-1mdk.i586.html .

Here it is. I noticed that the file titledefs.tex had been installed in
/usr/share/texmf, whereas
my texmf tree is in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf. I copied the lilypond directory over

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

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?
AFAICT rig
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?
