Re: [Frescobaldi] cannot add lilypond 2.19.57 to lilypond preference

[MING TSANG]

Federico,

Thank you for the info.

I have been using USB to install lilypond. But I have not try to use it an another computer. I will try to use it on another computer to check it out.

I have lilypond v2.19.49, to v2.19.56 on my USB drive and there is no problem to do the frecobaldi lilypond preference.  I installed v2.19.57 on the same USB, it said install complete. I assume every thing is OK.  When try to do frecobaldi lilypond preference, it failed. Later I check the directory of the USB, v2.19.57 is there, but there is no content it it.  That is why doing frecobaldi lilypond preference failed. I seems that the USB is full. I plan to unstall older version, say v2.19.49, v2.19.50, v2.19.51 and install v2.19.57 again onto the USB to check if the frecobalri lilypond preference fails or not. 

Ming.

I had the same problem years ago. I wanted to have LilyPond and
Frescobaldi installed on a USB stick because I needed to use in a
computer where I could not install any software.

I think I asked for help on lilypond-user, bat cannot find it in the
archive.
I vaguely remember that the error was due to lilypond "relocation".
