Not a lilypond-book-preamble.ly bug (was RE: -b eps option (was RE: OOolilypond and openoffice 2.1)) |

It helps if you include the "=" in the -dbackend=eps
option. You can see from my previous message that I read the documentation
correctly. We all make mistakes. :-)
Is it possible to include more helpful error
messages for the command line options, when somebody gets a
chance?
It appears that I have OOoLilyPond working now, but
there are some issues:
1. The default templates with OOoLilyPond assume simple
notes, you have to modify the templates to delete the { and }
before and after the snippet in order to accept a \score {} block.
Since the discussions on the list indicate that the project is leaning toward
requiring \score {} blocks in the future, the default templates probably need to
be updated.
2. The eps images paste into the swriter file
transparent, you can't view and proofread the music until you print -- I can't
figure out how to change this. It's really annoying. The documentation says
the image is supposed to be in low resolution, not
invisible.
3. The temporary files are in the C:\WINDOWS\Temp
directory, if you have find the OOoLilypond.ly and OOoLilypond.out files to
debug a problem. Looking at the OOoLilypond.ly file is the only way to see how
your music snippet really looks to the LilyPond
compiler.

Thanks, Graham.
I failed to mention that the -dbackend=eps
option works outside of OOo. I verified that before making the changes to
Subs.xba.
I think this is some other script error inside OOoLilypond
passing a bad value to Lilypond, but I don't have a clue from the LilyPond error
message where to look.
Even thinking about using LaTeX and LilyPondBook
gives me chills. And while LilyPond is great at handling musical notation, it is
horrible at handling text outside of a score (which is completely understandable
- because that's not what it's designed for). OOoLilypond looks like it could be
a real production tool for laying out hymnbooks and worship services, etc., by
combining the strengths of LilyPond and OOoWriter. I'm really excited to see if
I can get it working and try it out.

Okay,
I edited Subs.xba and replaced -b eps with -dbackend=eps in all
four
places.
Then I deleted the macro in OOo and reinstalled it, so
it would load the
changes.
Now, I get the following
error:
GNU LilyPond 2.11.20
ERROR: In procedure

ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting

The template file has the following:

\layout

}

Please see the NEWS for 2.11.
