Hello All,
I used Lilypond some a few years ago when the command was "ly2dvi stuff.ly".
But now with a freshly installed 2.2.6 on a box running Linux RH7.3, I can't
get off the zero peg. I am
running fvwm2, not Gnome or KDE.
Following the first suggestion in the tutorial, I invoke Lilypond on a test file
music]$ cat testa1.ly
{ c'4 e' g' }
music]$
Looking at that file with a hex editor shows nothing extra.
00000000: 7b20 6327 3420 6527 2067 2720 7d0a { c'4 e' g' }.
music]$ lilypond testa1.ly
lilypond (GNU LilyPond) 2.2.6
Running lilypond-bin...
Now processing `testa1.ly'
Parsing...
/home//music/testa1.ly:1:1: error: parse error, unexpected '{':
{
c'4 e' g' }
/home//music/testa1.ly:1:9: warning: Braces don't match:
{ c'4 e'
g' }
Failed files: testa1.ly
lilypond: error: LilyPond failed on input file testa1 (exit status 1)
lilypond: warning: Running LilyPond failed. Rerun with --verbose for a trace.
music]$
Can someone please suggest what might be wrong? Yes, there is lot more output with the
"-V" flag, but
hopefully someone can already guess what might be a common first error.
TIA,
]
