Re: Special characters in path using lilypond-book with Texshop engine

[Nicola Vitacolonna]

Dear Dona,
I cannot reproduce the problem with LilyPond 2.15.38-1 and TeXShop 3.04 on Lion 
10.7.3. I have put the three examples that you may find in my 
LilyPond-Engines-2.0.2.tar.gz inside a path containing folders with spaces and 
accented characters, which looks like this:

/Users/nicola/Documents/Outbox/folder with spaces/Flûte-à-bec/

Then I have typeset each one of the three examples within TeXShop without any 
problem. If possible, please send me an archive containing the full example you 
are using. 

One more thing that might help me is this: open the file 
~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/LilyPond-Book.engine with a text editor, and change 
the lines

my $VERBOSE = 0; # Set to 1 for added verbosity
my $DEBUG = 0; # Set to 1 for debugging purposes only

to

my $VERBOSE = 1; # Set to 1 for added verbosity
my $DEBUG = 1; # Set to 1 for debugging purposes only

Save and typeset your source again from TeXShop. Then send me the output from 
TeXShop's console.

Some comments on what you have reported follow.

I am not sure if I understand correctly, but if you are talking about the 
\includegraphics commands inside the *-systems.tex files, then no .pdf 
extension is needed—that is, they should look like this:

\includegraphics{4a/lily-302d4edc-1}

Mmh, this may be the culprit: that path should not be an absolute path (compare 
with my example above). Again, if you send me the files you are using, maybe I 
can figure out what is happening.
