My guess is that this is not a lilypond bug, but there might be someone here who could shed light on how to report it, or better ways to work around it.
I have a PDF file <http://serpentpublications.org/music/dewilde/amours/allparts.pdf>, produced by lilypond-book with parts and score for a piece. It looks as I expect in xpdf. For playing with my group, I need lots of copies of the parts, but only one of the score, so I printed out the parts with the options to xpdf which caused pages 1-6 to print out single-sided several times. Then I tried to print pages 7-9 (the score) double sided, and then single sided, and both times got pages with (some of the) staff lines and stems and brackets and text, but no note heads. When I print the whole file single sided, the score prints as expected. When it's not printing correctly, I get lots of error messages in the console window from which I invoked xpdf. Here are some of them: Error (1114123): Illegal character <12> in hex string Error (1114124): Illegal character <82> in hex string Error (1114125): Illegal character <82> in hex string Error (1114075): Illegal character '}' Error (1114126): Illegal character '>' Error: font resource is not a dictionary Error: font resource is not a dictionary Error: ExtGState 'R7' is unknown Error: Unknown font tag 'R8' Error (812121): No font in show Error: Unknown font tag 'R8' This is lily 2.14.1, on ubuntu 10.10, with xpdf version 3.02, printing on a Brother HL-5250DN printer. I would be happy to report this bad behavior if I had any idea which of the many programs involved in turning my lilypond code into black marks on paper was responsible. Does anyone have a better educated guess than I do for how to narrow the field of possible suspects? -- Laura (mailto:lcon...@laymusic.org, twitter: @serpentplayer) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 http://www.laymusic.org/ http://www.serpentpublications.org This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright #154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin' it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern.
