Windows install/run error

[Chad Etzel]

Hi all,

I just installed Lilypond 2.11.33 on Windows XP, and I get the following
error when I try to run:

C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\binlilypond c:\lilypond\test.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.11.33
programming error: cannot find absolute argv0
continuing, cross fingers
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR: Unable to find file ice-9/boot-9.scm in load path

I have used Lilypond on 2 other linux machines without issue and have never
seen this error before.

I see I have this folder:
C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\share\guile\1.8\ice-9

Am I supposed to modify the windows $PATH somehow so that lilypond can find
this file?

Thanks,
-Chad

Re: Measures per line?

[Chad Etzel]

Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but there's a way to make
measures per line be consistent on each line (not as flexible as having a
maximum, but at least it's a start...)


From 11.3.1 of manual:


 \repeat unfold 7 {
s1 \noBreak s1 \noBreak s1 \noBreak s1 \break % 4 measures then
a break
   }
  % insert the real music here...



This makes the 28 measures block (4 measures repeated 7 times, assuming 4/4
time) be broken every 4 measures, and only there.

How do I specify the measures per line maximum that I would like?  The
piece I am working on is a bit crowded.  Or, am I thinking backwards and
do I have to change the spacing between notes to fix this?  How do I
specify that?

Thanks muchly.

Rebecca

How to center arbitrary text on page?

[Chad Etzel]

Hi All,

I am trying to write a centered, arbitrary line of text in between two
\score elements.  I know I can write whatever I want with a \markup element,
but I cannot for the life of me get it to be centered across the page.
\center-align doesn't seem to do what I want, it just centers the text
around the left edge of the page.  Any help/guidance would be really
appreciated.

Sorry if this is a simple question, but I just started with Lilypond and I
can't figure out how to do it... I've read through the entire manual trying
to find the answer...

Thanks,
-Chad
