Hello, To work around known issues with Lilypond-book, I tried installing the most recent Lilypond (2.16.2). It solved one problem but created another. When processing in Xetex, there is a line-break following each measure. There is no problem when the file is processed with pdflatex.
I'm getting these errors in the messages when processing: 11:43:38.493: lilypond-book: warning: Unable to auto-detect default settings: 11:43:38.495: xetex: /home/kale/lilypond/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by xetex) 11:43:38.496: xetex: /home/kale/lilypond/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xetex) 11:43:38.496: xetex: /home/kale/lilypond/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xetex) 11:43:38.496: xetex: /home/kale/lilypond/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xetex) 11:43:38.496: xetex: /home/kale/lilypond/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xetex) 11:43:38.498: xetex: /home/kale/lilypond/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpoppler.so.19) 11:43:38.502: xetex: /home/kale/lilypond/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpoppler.so.19) 11:43:38.502: xetex: /home/kale/lilypond/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpoppler.so.19) 11:43:38.503: xdvipdfmx: /home/kale/lilypond/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by xdvipdfmx) It seemed that lyx wouldn't pick up the install if lilypond wasn't in /usr/bin, and I couldn't figure out how to get lilypond to install into /usr/bin/ (that is, without creating a subdirectory /lilypond), so I copied the lilypond-book into /usr/bin. Here is a minimum (I think) .lyx file: #LyX 2.0 created this file.
