You're a genius! Thankyouthankyou! I now have my computer set up in its native location (on antediluvian dial-up), and tried compiling a file again. This time it said something about /lilypond, so I opened up the plugin dialog, and inserted /usr/local/bin in the top line, and all worked fine! BTW, they ?usr/home/ ... was a typo on my part copying the contents of the dialog into the email (wasn't possible to swipe and paste). So now I can compile .ly files, but when I tried to convert-ly from the icons in jEdit LilypondTool, I got the following: "/usr/home/gord/Documents/songs/LilypondSets/brother_james_air.ly" /usr/local/bin/python: can't open file '/usr/local/bin/convert-ly.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory Processing time: 0 seconds Any ideas how to fix that?
