sorry if this has come up before, but i'm finding an unexplainable
behavior with newer version of lilypond on macos 10.4.
i have several .ly files that i began around 2.7.7 or so, that are
relatively long.
when i open them in any version up to 2.7.15 they compile fine and
produce pdf output.
when i open them and try to compile them in any version from 2.7.17
to .20, the console shows me that it interprets the music,
preprocesses the graphical objects, calculates the line breaks, and
then it hangs.
if there is an older pdf of the file created with an older version,
it will open that file. if not, it will not create a new pdf.
i have tried using convert-ly to bring the files up to date, but it
makes no difference (by the way, although the convert-ly version
states 2.7.19, for example, the .ly file is still given a "2.7.15"
version number... is that right?)
also, if i reenter the exact same info in a new .ly file, it compiles
just fine.
shortening the original file to only a few lines (4 or 5) and saving
it also brings no change.
any clues?
thanks,
sean
