I just installed 2.5.15 on my Mac. I wanted to batch convert an entire
directory using convert-ly, but the 2.5 docs removed the instructions
on how to do this. First off, I hope this feature's not dead?
Not being able to batch convert, I just did the two most important
files. I also changed some things manually -- specifically, rewriting
all instances of \column. That being the only syntax change between
2.4.x and 2.5.15 I could think of, I went ahead and ran lilypond.
I got a LOT of garbage back. Maybe it's a debugging feature of 2.5.15,
I don't know. But lilypond failed, and there was enough garbage output
to make it impossible to identify what I did wrong. The first billion
lines or so were cut off the terminal screen, but the top of the
screen looks like this:
#<Mom 235> = () synced
#<Mom 941/4> = () synced
#<Mom 1883/8> = () synced
#<Mom 471/2> = () synced
#<Mom 943/4> = () synced
#<Mom 1887/8> = () synced
#<Mom 236> = () synced
#<Mom 945/4> = () synced
#<Mom 1891/8> = ()
#<Mom 473/2> = () synced
#<Mom 947/4> = () synced
#<Mom 237> = () synced
#<Mom 238> = () synced
#<Mom 239> = () synced
#<Mom 957/4> = () synced
#<Mom 1915/8> = () synced
#<Mom 479/2> = () synced
#<Mom 959/4> = () synced
#<Mom 1919/8> = () synced
#<Mom 240> = () synced
#<Mom 961/4> = () synced
#<Mom 1923/8> = ()
#<Mom 481/2> = () synced
#<Mom 963/4> = () synced
#<Mom 241> = () synced
#<Mom 242> = () synced
#<Mom 485/2> = ()
#<Mom 971/4> = () synced
#<Mom 243> = () synced
#<Mom 487/2> = () synced
And so on. The only clue I have is the last line, saying
xyz.ly:246:1: error: syntax error, unexpected MIDI:
\midi { \tempo 2 = 75 }
/sw/share/lilypond/2.5.15/ly/init.ly:36:69: error: syntax error,
unexpected $end:
(apply ly:make-book $defaultpaper $globalheader toplevel-scores)))
This is clearly legal syntactically, so I'm stumped past this point.
I have to smile and remember
when you accuse me of that smell
