- **summary**: fails to compile file on windows SMB share --> Windows: Lilypond
cannot manage UNC paths
- **Comment**:
My tests on Windows 10 indicate that lilypond.exe can't handle UNC
notation. This is true even of a local file.
First I "type" the file and it works fine with UNC. Then I try to launch
LilyPond with the same file name and it can't find the file.
Bug or future feature?

I am trying to double-click a .ly file that is in a network share. When I
do so, the following log file is created:
\------------
\# -\*-compilation-\*-
warning: can't find file:
\`\\\server\fgasper\my\_docs\Scores\editions\conditor3-alt\_lyrics.ly'
error: failed files:
"\\\\\\\server\\\fgasper\\\my\_docs\\\Scores\\\editions\\\conditor3-alt\_lyrics.ly"
\------------
If I copy the file to my Windows desktop and double-click on it there,
everything works as normal.
