2007/6/3, D. Michael McIntyre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Some PostScript problem I gather, but curiously, if I render to LilyPond
and
use KPDF or KGhostView to print the resulting .PDF file (as created by
default when running "lilypond file.ly" with no other options) manually, I
don't have this problem at all. It seems to be tied to printing .PS
files.
I have also thought long for changing default LilyPond export format to PDF,
since PDF renderers are more stable. Maybe it is time to do it now.
Other oddness, the lilypond-print-preview script (or whatever it's real name
is) no longer provides a status dialog to inform me that it's doing
something. There is simply a pregnant pause, and then the preview comes
up
in KGhostView. Maybe I'm missing some helper app, and it simply fails to
complain. I misremember how that works.
I remember to have tweaked the script. It would be nice to show the progress
of the LilyPond export. However, everything was based on the output trace
that LilyPond was providing.
I'll explore what I can do to improve my printing problems. I don't think
Rosegarden is at fault per se here, but since I am having problems with
the
standard .PS rendering, maybe there should be an option to use PDF as the
destination format, and let LilyPond do the conversion. It seems to be
working flawlessly for me, except for the issue in the subject line of
this
message.
For me too, PDF has been more stable in some cases.
This isn't actually the first time I've experienced weirdness with
Rosegarden's direct preview-to-print system. In previous versions of all
actors involved, I've run into problems with the music printing using the
wrong glyphs. Everything would come out with a whole note, plus whatever
stems and flags. Printing via .PDF solved that problem back then too.

The mapping of the font files may change between LilyPond versions, which is
the reason why one should use the correct font file version. However, I am
not expert on these font issues.
If there are problems concerning lilypond, I would just recommend to
uninstall LilyPond and install manually the latest bugfix release of
LilyPond from
http://lilypond.org/web/install/#2.10
I hope such a move solves your font problems.
