Re: [Denemo-devel] First Time Denemo [Mac] User - "LilyPond count not typeset this score"

It also may be better to set the lilypond path via the denemo.sh script. There is a variable called LILYPOND_PATH (or something close to that) . I believe you can use the official lilypond by setting it to wherever you placed it. It would be inside the Lilypond.app as well. Something like LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/usr/bin/lilypond or lilypond-bin or something like that.

You should not need to download lilypond separately if everything is working at it should be. What was the terminal output when you launched it via:
/Users/anthonyventura/Desktop/Desktop/Denemo.app/Contents/MacOS/denemo.sh
?

Hello,

I'm determined to make this work. My use cases fall into the strengths of Denemo.

First, the dumb question:

Do I need to download and install LilyPond? I'm thinking no.

On your Downloads page, under the Windows Installer section it states, "

• This installer includes LilyPond internally and everything you need to create, print and playback. It is about 60MB in size. You can install a more up-to-date LilyPond version, setting Denemo to use that via the Change Preferences item – the version installed by Denemo is internal to the Denemo installation and does not affect any previously intalled LilyPond version.

Additional question:

• If I don't need to download LilyPond then I would think I don't need to edit the Change Preferences location of lilypond.

As I stated before, I was able to open Denemo by double-clicking, however:

• Check Score was successful
• "LilyPond" preview was unsuccessful
• Had to Force Quit Denemo.

I going to try again on both my old MacBook Pro (2011) and new (2016). I'm proceeding with the assumption that I don't need to download LilyPond.

Regarding launching with the Terminal, after placing the folder "Desktop" on my Mac's Finder desktop, I have deterred that the path is :

/Users/anthonyventura/Desktop/Desktop/Denemo.app/Contents/MacOS/denemo.sh

Launching in this manner, via Terminal, does allow Denemo to open successfiully. I've inputted two bars of music. Still can't get the preview window to preview. It says Invalid! try Score-> Check. I do that and it check's successfully.

So close..

Thank you all for your efforts to help me get Denemo working

Kind regards,

Tony Ventura

This will give us a bit more.

from the log file I see:

> 3   libglib-2.0.0.dylib               0x000000010cc93db6
> g_assertion_message + 382\
4   libglib-2.0.0.dylib           0x000000010cc93e14
g_assertion_message_expr + 94

So it would seem that Gtk is detecting trouble and aborting with a
message which because you have no terminal open we are not seeing.
Are you able to start up Denemo in a terminal? I seem to recall seeing
stuff about getting a terminal on a mac for running a program in.  (I
think I posted about it on this list).
