Hi Ralph,

To my novice eyes, it seems there is one of two possible issues here:

  1. The path indicated in your "init.el" file, which is supposed to
     point to the lilypond-mode files in your LilyPond installation
     folder is incorrect, or
  2. "init.el" points to the place where the lilypond-files are
     supposed to be, but the files are missing.

How did you install LilyPond? Did you do it through Add/Remove or Synaptic, or by downloading the executable from the LilyPond site?

Hi, I've been here before, but I've still got a problem.

I'm running Ubuntu (Jaunty Jackalope), Lilypond 2.12.2, and emacs 22.2.1.

Whenever I try to open a .ly file in emacs, I get :
File mode specification error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "lilypond-mode")

Has anyone else had this problem and/or found a fix? I tried some instructions I got a while back from someone on the lilypond user list, and they didn't work. I re-installed emacs, and no joy. I then tried following the instructions again, and still no luck. Any suggestions?

Or is there another helpful text editor (with highlighting), other than jedit (with seems to be slow and resource intensive, in my experience)?

Thanks for your time and attention,

Ralph
