Re: OOoLilyPond: support for Cairo backend

[Martin Tarenskeen]

Thanks for the update!

I tried OOoLilyPond v1.1.6 beta on Fedora 36 with Libre Office and the new Cairo backend seems to work nicely with it. Note for other Fedora users: The lilypond-2.23.12 that is currently packaged in the Fedora repository has been compiled without the cairo backend and will not be capable to use this new functionality. It was easy to compile my own RPM package version using the Fedora specfile. I just needed to add --enable-cairo-backend to the configure options. Now I can enjoy SVG support with the Cairo backend in OOoLilyPond.

To all OOoLilyPond users: There is a new (experimental) release that supports using the new Cairo backend (as of Ly 2.23.12): https://github.com/OOoLilyPond/OOoLilyPond/releases/tag/v1.1.6_beta This allows to get svg images without restrictions (like having to use dedicated "svg" templates or additional conversion software): https://github.com/OOoLilyPond/OOoLilyPond/wiki/News#easier-way-to-use-vector-images Please feel free to test the new OLy version and report back any problems you encounter.
