Re: override StaffSymbol.line-count

[Bernard]

Hello David,

You are right, Lilypond was installed but not visible.

I have read scary things about changing

~/.bashrc

like not to be able to login anymore.

So first I justed added the path manually. Of course this will be lost 
after a reboot.

Lilypond 2.18.2 was visible and could be executed. After that I 
installed Frescobaldi again with

sudo apt-get install frescobaldi

Frescobaldi installed lilypond 2.16.2 again. So i had to reverse.

After manually downloaded and install Frescobaldi again. And executed my 
example. The result was still :

Starting lilypond 2.18.2 [test3.ly]...

I must say this problem causes a lot of excalation. apt-get is technical 
fine, but very often (years) out of date. Manualy installing is a disaster.

I have two questions :
1) Is there a kind of unittest to test if Lilypond and Frecobadi are 
installed correctly?
2) What causes the error now I am using the correct version?

Thanks for your help.

Bernard
