Thanks Gentlemen, The 'old' version I'm using is probably the culprit. The syntax you guys suggested works fine.
I'm using Ubuntu. It looks like the version in the standard Ubuntu repositories is still 2.16. I'm starting with it now and playing with music for my mens choir. Any important things I'll be missing out on 2.16 ? There is a PPA so I could upgrade quite easily, if necessary, Thanks Markus On Tue, Sep 16, 2014 at 9:13 PM, Urs Liska <u...@openlilylib.org> wrote: > Your problem comes from the fact that you use a syntax for a newer > version of LilyPond. > > I suggest that you either update to LilyPond 2.18.2 (preferable) or have a > look at the documentation for 2.16 at > http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/web/manuals > > The dot-notation was introduced in 2.18, previously you had to write > > \override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility ... > > (although I don't know if there have been other changes in that > break-visibility stuff as well.) > > HTH > Urs > > Am 16.09.2014 21:08, schrieb Markus Baertschi: > > > I'm trying to get bar numbers on every second bar get syntax error from > stuff straight out of the documentation. > > /tmp/frescobaldi-qhLT9N/tmpOW4D8u/Le_vieux_chalet.ly:27:29: error: syntax > error, unexpected '.', expecting SCM_FUNCTION or SCM_IDENTIFIER or > SCM_TOKEN > \override Score.BarNumber > .break-visibility = ##(#t #t #t) > > Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea where to look for a solution.
