Re: Wrong type argument

[James]

Ming,

Can you 'somehow' remove the solfege engraver for your example (keep the includes but just remove for the sake of testing) the references to it. I think the problem is in this 'Scheme' syntax.

If we can narrow it down to just that engraver then we stand a better chance of working out the problem.

I know that might not help you in the short term.

Thank you for answering.

Now I reduce the file and copy & paste the two includes inline. The .ly file compiles with error.

The same file run ok in v2.19.12

With your file I get

This is running 2.19.11

 

Might I suggest that following the advice in http://lilypond.org/website/tiny-examples.html might enable you to find your own problem, and would certainly help someone else.

Subject: Wrong type argument

I uninstall v2.19.12 and install v19.13 and run a lily file and I got the following error.  I then run convert-ly; re-run and got the same error.

The .ly file run without error in v2.19.12.

Ming,

Even if you remove the 'includes' lines you still have some variables referenced that are not in the email.

Doing some very basic troubleshooting I also get

test.ly:36:28: In procedure ly:pitch-notename in _expression_ (ly:pitch-notename tonic-pitch):
test.ly:36:28: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting Pitch): ()

and this 'test.ly:36:28' refers to a line in my test.ly file with your code cut and paste. and this line is included in the solfege-engraver function.

#(define (solfege-engraver lst dir)
   (make-engraver
     (acknowledgers
      ((note-head-interface engraver grob source)
       (let* (
              (context (ly:translator-context engraver))
              (tonic-pitch (ly:context-property context 'tonic))
              (tonic-index (ly:pitch-notename tonic-pitch))  <------- HERE IS THE LINE BEING REFERENCED!!!!!!!
              (event (ly:grob-property grob 'cause))
              (event-copy (ly:event-deep-copy event))
              (grob-pitch (ly:event-property event 'pitch))
              (grob-index (ly:pitch-notename grob-pitch))
              (delta (modulo (- grob-index tonic-index) 7))
              (name (list-ref lst delta))
              (newgrob (ly:engraver-make-grob engraver 'TextScript event-copy)))

         ;; clear 'tweaks for newgrob
       ;;  (ly:event-set-property! event-copy 'tweaks '())        
         (if (string= name "Hb")  (set! name "B"))
         ;; Give newgrob 'outside-staff-priority depending on
         ;; grob 'staff-position
         (set! (ly:grob-property newgrob 'outside-staff-priority)
               (+ (ly:grob-property newgrob 'outside-staff-priority)
                  (* dir (ly:grob-property grob 'staff-position))))
         (set! (ly:grob-property newgrob 'text) name)
         (set! (ly:grob-property newgrob 'direction) dir) )))))


but unless you can simplify this example, I am not sure if anyone can help (they might be able to guess).

Now I also rememeber a change to this solfege engraver being discussed in June

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2014-06/msg00640.html

But I don't use this so I don't know if this is the same as the one you are using or if you have some other issue.

Simplifying your example would help.
