Re: How to Debug Parse Errors
If you use the Cygwin installation, the example files are available in the directory /usr/doc/lilypond/ /Mats Richard Grubb wrote: My problem has been resolved. The line endings were messed up. On my machine, I don't have dos2unix, but I do have dosunix which the man page said should do the same translation. Except in this case, it removed all line endings (plus some characters in column 1 and most of the ending '}'s ). I had to reinsert all of the line endings and missing characters with Nedit. Then ly2dvi processed the file properly. LaTex barffed on the 8A character, but I just replaced it with an 'a' and everything processed properly. I guess I'll have to unzip and untar the source code to get good copies of example files instead of saving them from the web site through my browser.

Hello. I'm programming a song that alternates from 6/8 to 4/4 time with each measure. When I ly2dvi the .ly file, I get a double time signature at the end of my line.

Since this feature is the latest and hotest, it's not included in the stable 1.6.x series, only in the latest versions of the experimental 1.7.x series, which isn't available as a Cygwin package. If you really want to try it now, I'm afraid you have to compile Lilypond yourself.

RE: Using Lilypond with OpenOffice?
Thanks. My point in all of this is to get a document re-written, using Open Source software to allow others in my group to contribute to it. While I may be able to do some work to get this accomplished in the way I want (e.g., writing an XSLT transform to convert the Lilypond SVG output into an OpenOffice Draw document), I really don't have the time to do major ports of software. I spend my long work days doing this stuff; my evenings are reserved for my 5-year-old son. And I need to get this document done soon (in weeks, not months). So for now my game plan will be: 1. Try to get 1.7.9 to compile under Cygwin. 2. If that seems hopeless, build on my Linux box. This would be bad, because as I said I'll do most of this work during work hours, and our network drops my ssh connections to home every 2 minutes or so. . . 3. Write an XSLT filter to transform the SVG output to something that OO Draw will read. 4. If this all takes very long, I'll be drawing notation by hand.
