I'm not sure why you have /usr/local/bin/ occurring in your error
messages as I don't see any string "local/" on the page:
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/lilypond/files/
Is there any possibility that you have multiple versions of LP
installed, and that one version is calling another?
BTW you can bisect the problem and test lilypond-invoke-editor
separately at the command line just by typing:
$ lilypond-invoke-editor textedit://FFFFFFFF:LL:CC:CC
FFFFFFFF is a .ly file, LL a line number, CC a column number
(actual numbers not important), as in:
$ lilypond-invoke-editor textedit:///tmp/blue.ly:50:10:10
Either of:
$ type lilypond-invoke-editor
$ which lilypond-invoke-editor
will tell you which executable is being run. But if your Gnome3
settings include a path for that executable, you obviously need
to test it with that path.
Cheers,
David.
