Lilypond hangs when invoked

2006-10-04 Thread Vivian Barty-Taylor 
I'm using 2.9.16 for Mac OSX.I'm trying to invoke Lilypond from the command line because I need to create SVG output.I type:lilypond.app/contents/MacOS/LilyPond -f svg lpfiles/treble.lyand Lilypond does... precisely nothing! The Terminal window I am using just hangs.I'm not a programmer, or experienced in using UNIX systems, so appreciate I may be making a simple mistake! Any advice would be appreciated.Cheers,Vivian.

I recommend that you first verify that you can run LilyPond normally
from the command line, i.e. that
lilypond.app/contents/MacOS/LilyPond lpfiles/treble.ly
(or some version of that, I don't use MacOS myself) works correctly. Ones
you have managed to do that, it's just to add the extra options you want.
By the way, I think you want
-b svg
and nothing else.

I tried that and it doesn't. Does anyone know if the executable I'm calling is actually the right one? I found it inside the LilyPond.app package, and assumed it was what I needed, but maybe I'm wrong.- Original Message From: Mats Bengtsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: Vivian Barty-Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Cc: lilypond-user@gnu.orgSent: Wednesday, 4 October, 2006 1:36:16 PMSubject: Re: Lilypond hangs when invokedI recommend that you first verify that you can run LilyPond normallyfrom the command line, i.e. thatlilypond.app/contents/MacOS/LilyPond lpfiles/treble.ly(or some
