Sorry about the long delayed reply. I reverted to 2.12.3 and now I am still getting problems, even with input that I was previously able to process successfully. I've _got_ to be doing something wrong. To answer your question more directly, I first ran the command, "lilypond --version" at the command line. After a very long time, it returned the following text. [Quoted_Output] GNU LilyPond 2.12.3 Copyright (c) 1996--2009 by Han-Wen Nienhuys <han...@xs4all.nl> Jan Nieuwenhuizen <jann...@gnu.org> and others. This program is free software. It is covered by the GNU General Public License and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. Invoke as `lilypond --warranty' for more information. [/Quoted_Output] This (the long wait) is not the behaviour I am accustomed to seeing, so now I am wondering how to get a clean installation. Right now, I just want to get back a working lilypond installation. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
