Hi James,

I'm not sure what a GS error is, but this code here produces absolutely
no error on my computer:


\version "2.14.1"

{ g4 g g g \chords { d1:m7 b1:min7.5- } }

\layout {
   \context {
     \Staff
     \accepts "ChordNames"
   }
}

... must be a typo somewhere?

-----------

No. :(

I also tried a few other snippets not necessarily related to this one, and got 
the same 'Ghostscript' error (that;s what converts the lilypond files into a 
PDF file via EPS).

However I don't get the same error on Linux - only on Windows 7 SP1 (sigh) we 
had a similar annoying bug that was recently fixed. .

I'll have to check again in the morning as it was on my work desktop and I am 
not there now.

Oh well.

@Phil, you're on XP right?

If anyone reading this has windows 7 SP1 can they try the above snippet and see 
if it works for them?
