Re: Problem running LP on win32.

You are the second person to bring up this problem, see 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-10/msg00718.html

Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to verify it myself, but I guess the
problematic line in the error message is:
programming error: cannot find absolute argv0
which tells that LilyPond isn't able to figure out where it's installed 
and where

all necessary files are.

I can confirm this in XP SP2, both without arguments and with a valid one.
Same exact message and no PDF output.
The Desktop method does work for the same input file, and lilypad.exe
instead of lilypond.exe does open the file.

Confusing start for newcomers on Windows

2008-10-24 Thread Francisco Vila
I know this has been discussed before, but I cannot find the bug in the tracker.
I've just tested a fresh install of 2.11.62 in Windows XP.
I know how to process an input file and to ignore lilypad editor. But
the installation still makes lilypad to be launched when clicking on
the LilyPond desktop icon or in the Start menu. This is what new users
are going to do, undoubtedly.

So, lilypad opens with a file with very outdated directions, even
more, they are not true at all.

- the file name is Welcome_to_LilyPond.ly but this name is lost on the
save dialog when you follow the first direction Save this file on the
desktop. So the user does not know that the file has to be named
Welcome_to_LilyPond.ly for the next directions to have sense.

So, point 1) has to be changed to Save this file on the Desktop with
the name test.ly or whatever.

- Accordignly, point 4) has to say the user to open the PDF named as
he or she did name the input file.

- The input itself has a deprecated syntax: \relative { c d e f g a b
c } does not include a reference pitch as the first argument of
\relative.

- Then, the \version statement reads 2.10.0 which has to be changed
before 2.12, say, to the current actual version for example.

Thanks. I'm afraid I cannot find the source code in my tree, nor the
bug in google code (if it exists)

Re: Character change on Vista

I get the same result on Vista.  Here's a minimal

   \relative c'' { g }
   \addlyrics { nN }

With 2.11.62 on a PC with XP and another PC with Vista, i tested the code
below.
The result is fine on both.
Then i uncomment the line. The result is still fine on XP, but on Vista 
the

uppercase N (and only this one) is changed to another character.

Any ideas?



\include italiano.ly

#(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f)

Un = \lyricmode
{
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
}


\score
{

% \override Score.LyricText #'font-name = #Times New Roman
\new ChoirStaff

\new Staff

\new Voice = Sopranos { \voiceOne { sol'4 re'' } }

\new Lyrics = UnLyrics { s1 }


\context Lyrics = UnLyrics \lyricsto Sopranos \Un

}

Issue 697: Path problem on Windows
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=697

Comment #2 by paconet.org:
Not really, I have surely expressed myself badly.

I just changed the command line from lilypond.exe to lilypad.exe just to be  
sure that
the whole commandline itself was well written (having spaces into the  
Program Files
pathname, one never can be sure). lilypad.exe was launched correctly as  
expected.


The error occurs both with a valid input filename and without one.

Issue 698 in lilypond: Windows users should be offered a better first impression

2008-10-24 Thread codesite-noreply

Issue 698: Windows users should be offered a better first impression
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=698

New issue report by v.villenave:
The Windows installation launches the lilypad editor when clicking on
the LilyPond desktop icon or in the Start menu. This is what new users
are going to do, undoubtedly.

Here are some ideas to make them feel more comfortable from the first time
they give LilyPond a try.

== LILYPAD EDITOR ==

- this editor should look more specific: currently it looks too much like
the Windows NotePad, and tends to make users think the file is just some
kind of ReadMe.

- this editor lacks some features, such as findreplace, syntax
highlighting, etc. See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2007-12/msg00174.html
and
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2007-09/msg00322.html

- This editor could be better configured:
  - save as UTF-8 by default
  - preserve the original filename when users want to save the example file
(e.g. Welcome_to_LilyPond.ly); otherwise the given directions make no sense.


== WELCOME.LY ==

- The example file should be updated:
   - as said above, it should say `Save this file on the Desktop with
the name test.ly', and then `open test.pdf' or whatever, in a more
filename-agnostic way.
   - the input itself has a deprecated syntax: \relative lacks a reference
pitch
   - the \version statement still reads 2.10.0.

- Ideally, the example file should be automatically generated:
   - the \version statement should be internally generated by a @VERSION@
variable
   - the example file should be localized accordingly to the user's  
language.



Some of these ideas have been raised on the list (by Francisco, Bertalan,
myself etc.) for a few years. I am willing to work on some of these
features personally as soon as I have some time, but any help would be
appreciated.
I am willing to give a €200 bounty for the LilyPad editor improvements, and
many users out there would certainly be glad to give more.

 I know this has been discussed before, but I cannot find the bug in the

You might be interested in having a look at the LilyPad source archive
at http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/gub-sources/

I have added this as http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=698
with a personal bounty, since I think this is an important issue.

(I plan to work on that as soon as I don't have an opera to finish; I
have already begun to work on it last year when I built EasyLilyPond
from the existing Windows installer.)
