segmentation fault
I have installed 2.7.28 on Fedora Core 4. When I try to process a file, I get the following: error: can't open for write: praise.midi: Permission denied /usr/local/bin/lilypond: line 3: 2647 Segmentation fault "/usr/local//lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond" "$@" I saw the "Permissioned denied" and tried running lilypond as a superuser. It worked fine. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I don't want to keep using superuser.

uninstalling lilypond
I have installed the lilypond-2.7.19 package but have had segmentation fault errors that haven't been cleaned up on Mandrake 10.1. Is there a way to uninstall the lilypond but leave the ghostscript? I would like to try to install from source to see if I can get this working. It seems the package removal program takes out both.

No, it failed on the snippet also with the following:

Segmentation fault
I have tried installing both lilypond-2.6.4.3.x86.package and lilypond-2.7.19.x86.package on Mandrake 10.1. Both installs went smoothly once I figured out that I had to change the permissions to make the file executable. However, when I try to process a file I get a segmentation fault error. I've looked around but can't seem to find a specific fix. I did reinstall guile. Any help would be appreciated.

lilypond install on Fedora Core 4
I am having difficulty installing the lilypond binary on a new installation of FC4 due to the ghostscript 8.15 dependency. This is the case with both 2.6 and 2.7. I have tried installing ghostscript as per the Install page in documentation. My terminal program does not recognize "rpmbuild" as a valid command so I just downloaded the rpm and installed it. I have also tried installing gs from source. Lilypond does not seem to be able to find this newer version. Could someone who is running lilypond on FC4 check and see where their ghostscript is installed? Or does someone have another suggestion as to what the issue might be? Happy New Year. Arthur ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: 2.7.26 installation
Okay, so I downloaded the gs8.15 rpm and it installed into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. Lilypond still can't find it.

Re: 2.7.26 installation
No, I didn't. I tried that now, and rpmbuild doesn't seem to be a valid command. I'll try to work around it and see what happens. Thanks.

2.7.26 installation
One of my New Year's resolutions is to be happy with what I have. Unfortunately, it's not 2006 yet and so I decided to try FC4 on my pc and am now having difficultly installing 2.7.26. The issue is ghostscript. I have installed 8.15 but the lilypond rpm is not finding it and so it says I have an unresolved dependency. Is the issue where gs installed itself? If so, where should it have been installed in order for lp to find it? Arthur ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

line constraint problems
I'm having some line constraint problems with the third line in this piece.
Lilypond won't let me put the whole measure on one line, although it looks
like there should be room. In order for me not to get line constraint error
messages, I have to put the break where it is or I can't create a break, and
it's really ugly. Does anyone have any ideas?
I'm using 2.6.4 on Mandrake 10.1.

Re: Hello! Complicated newbie questions!
I'm on a steep learning curve also, and the list has been great. There are a
couple of other things you can do. Download the manual onto your machine and
then do word searches for what you are trying to do. For example, if you do
a search for "transparent", you 'll find ways to make bars, notes and stems
transparent, among other things.
Another thing I have been doing is finding templates wherever I can and then
using or adapting them. People will often send you a template if you tell
them what you are trying to do. Another good place to look is
www.mutopiaproject.org. There you'll find lots of different styles of music
with both the pdf and .ly files.
Finally, don't forget about Google. It will often take you straight to list
archives regarding your search.
You sound really excited about Lilypond, as are we all. But you might get
more responses if you split up your questions into separate emails with their
own subject line.

If it is just a matter of updating the pdf once you have edited the .ly file, Scribus has a feature where you can select your pdf image and there is an Update feature. I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect you could just do your editing, create your pdf, go over to Scribus and Update your image.

Scribus - alternative to lilybook?
I haven't seen anything on this list about Scribus, a linux-based desktop publishing program. I have been playing with it and it has some interesting features. Basically, you define your page size with borders and then create text or image boxes for your input. You can import lilypond pdf images directly into your image box. You can then put transparent text boxes on top of your image allowing you to do anykind of markup anywhere. I wouldn't recommend it for a an ordinary sheet of music, but I think it adds some interesting possibilites. I am trying to learn how to use it and how to use Lilypond at the same time as I'm working on a liturgy, so it's making for some long -- but fun -- days.

installation issue
I have just installed the package of 2.7.12 on Mandrake 10.1. When I attempt to invoke lilypond from my terminal window I get the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]$ lilypond Amen1.ly GNU LilyPond 2.7.12 ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path: ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load path I'm not great at Linux so any help would be appreciated.

transparent stem
I've just started using lilypond and I think I'm over my head with the music I'm working on. I'm trying to get transparent stems by using \once \override Stem #'transparent = ##t a4. This isn't working for me. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Arthur ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
lyric placement
I'm just starting to play with lp by working on a hymn. The format is upper
and lower piano staves with the verses in the middle. I was using chords for
the upper and lower until I came to a place where I had two 8th notes in the
soprano over a 1/4 in the alto. I don't know if it's the best way, but I
found a way to do it. The problem is that I can't get a lyric to print under
those notes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
