Thanks for the bug report Connor. I tried your minimal example on my
stock install of 2.15.38 running under Ubuntu 10.04 on x86 hardware. I
don't reproduce the bug at all. No warnings about a lack of music, a
pdf is produced and it contains the single note as expected.

I can't guess what's going on with your system but perhaps one of the more 
experienced devs can give you some ideas.

Are you able to try using the installer instead?

Cheers,
Colin.
