Re: MY error, but wish the log was clearer.
Often, you don't have to explicitly write out any \score{...} block in your file, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Introduction-to-the-LilyPond-file-structure#Introduction-to-the-LilyPond-file-structure However, your feature request is certainly relevant, so I forward it to the bug mailing list. /Mats aliteralmind wrote: I'm using LilyPond for the first time in months. Feels god. I was about to ask why-the-heck is my LY code being analyzed (I get an appropriate message when I purposefully put in a syntax error), but when I fix the error, no PDF is generated. It just stops. I realized, after halfway-composing my help-me forum message, that I didn't put in the "score" element. The log was giving me this: --- # -*-compilation-*- Processing `E:/temp/mysong/mysong.ly' Parsing... --- Then in just stopped. Nothing. I thought I somehow messed up my computer in the past months. I put in the "score" element and now it works. What I WISH the log would say, when no PDF or MIDI is generated, is something like this: --- # -*-compilation-*- Processing `E:/temp/mysong/mysong.ly' Parsing... [END. No PDF or MIDI generation requested] --- Anyway, I just wanted to make that comment. Thanks for considering. ___ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond

Don't we already have a "no music in this file" error message? `aliteralmind': could you please post a minimal example of a .ly file that requires a \score block, but doesn't print any error message when there's none?
