What I wound up doing was the following (as root): Thanks for the advice, Daniel, I'll remember that if I try to compile the documentation. I did, however, solve the original problem I was having. I recompiled tetex, and swapped autotrace for potrace. I'm not sure which of the two was the culprit, but lilypond 2.6 compiled and is running fine now.

I believe I am using the same versions of mftrace and fontforge as you have so kindly provided me with. I suspect the problem may be an environmental variable of some sort. Nonetheless, I'll give these ebuilds a go and see how things progress. Thanks again, Scott ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Compiling Lilypond-2.6.0 On Gentoo
Hi All, I am eager to give Lilypond-2.6.0 a try! However, on my Gentoo box, I get the following error during the compile: mf-nowin -progname=mf "\mode:=laserjet; nonstopmode; input feta11.mf;" This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt mf.base tcfmgr: config file `tcfmgr.map' (usually in $TEXMFMAIN/texconfig) not found. fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the base file `mf.base'! make[1]: *** [out/feta11.tfm] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/portage/lilypond-2.6.0/work/lilypond-2.6.0/mf'make: *** [all] Error 2 I did a bit of searching around, and it seems that there are a few other gentoo users with a similar error (albeit on an earlier version of lilypond - 2.5.2: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90334 ). It seems to be related to tetex, but I do have the latest gentoo version installed (3.0-r2). However, I also see that I can do a: make -C mf get-pfa that appears to download and extract pretraced fonts from an rpm package. Cool. But, after the above make (apparently successfully), I follow it up with a 'make all' and still run into the same error as above. So, could anyone shed some light on the original error; or perhaps explain how the 'get-pfa' option should be used. Thanks very much for you help, and for a great program!

compiling ec-fonts-mftraced
Hi All,
I am trying to compile ec-fonts-mftraced-1.0.8, and am getting the
following error:

Could anyone help me out?
Also, I am experiencing alot of:

errors. Has anyone successfully compiled ec-fonts-mftraced-1.0.8,
perhaps even on a gentoo box? Thanks for any assistance.
Best,

Sorry, I spoke too soon! This does fix it, I forgot to include the
\grace before the s8! Thanks very much for the response.

Thanks for the response, Erik. However, this doesn't seem to work for
me. The output is still not correct even with the dummy grace note.

bug with acciaccatura and piano staff
Hi,
Try the following ly file:
\paper { raggedright = ##t}
globalsettings = {
\time 3/4
\key c \minor
}
\score {
\context PianoStaff \relative c' <<
\context Staff = upper {
\globalsettings
\clef treble
\acciaccatura b8
2.
}
\context Staff = lower {
\globalsettings
\clef bass
2.
}
>>
}
It produces very strange output - an extra clef, time and key signature
for both staves (one set before and one set after the acciaccatura).
Removing the acciaccatura fixes the problem. This occurs with grace
notes as well, and using the GrandStaff instead of the PianoStaff.
Best,
Scott

tweaking output in 2.3.16
Hi, As a means of learning the 'inner' workings of lilypond, I've been trying to reproduce the exact layout of some complex scores. I've read through the manual and in consultation with the Program Reference area, I've been able to adjust the default layout quite well to suit my needs. However, there are two areas that I can't seem to find a solution - slurs and spanners (specifically, hairpins and trills). Regarding the manual positioning of slurs, I have found the height-limit property of the Slur object to be useful in extending the arc of the slur (to avoid collisions with some elements), but, I can't seem to find a way to adjust the positioning of the end points of the slur (i.e. closer to, or further away from the notehead). In the reference for 2.2.6, there is an attachment-offset property that seems to handle this sort of adjustment, but it does not appear in the 2.3.16 reference. Is there are way to do this in 2.3.x? Secondly, I would like to be able to tweak the length of spanner objects (specifically the Hairpin and TrillSpanner). I don't seem to see any reference to a property that allows for this - is it possible? Thanks for any help!

using a custom music font
Hi All, I've been using lilypond for a bit now, and am very impressed by its output. I've gotten used to the default settings, and would now like to venture into some custom tweaking (just to make my scores a little more individualistic). I have a custom music font that I created that I use with Finale, and I would like to incorporate it into my lilypond scores. I suspect this may be a bit of a complicated endeavour (i.e. to get the font mappings correct, plus it seems that there are multiple instances of the feta font for different sizes, etc.), but I'm wondering if anyone has given this a try and/or may be able to offer some advice or pointers.

lily4jedit question
Hi All, Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question, but, I'm using lily4jedit and jedit 4.2 final. I can invoke lilypond from a console and it runs fine, but if I try to run it from jedit (Lilytool->Run Lilypond), I get an error: Interpreting music... error: can't find `feta20.afm' I ran into this problem before with the regular console, and fixed it by adding: source /etc/profile.d/lilypond-profile to my ~/.bashrc.

font problem with lilypond > 2.3.8
Hi All, When compiling lilypond 2.3.9 or 2.3.10 from source, everything compiles fine, but when I run the program, I get the following error: Parsing... Interpreting music... error: can't find `feta20.afm' Music font has not been installed properly. Aborting The font was traced properly and does exist in: /usr/local/share/lilypond/2.3.10/fonts/afm I can confirm this on both my desktop machine (running Fedora) and my laptop (running gentoo). Lilypond 2.3.8 compiles and runs fine without the error. Any suggestions on what the problem may be? Thanks very much.
