Re: Lilypond not rendering PDF on Mac

[Stanton Sanderson]

A word of caution- do a search of “using MacPorts and Homebrew together” before
trying one with the other. As I understand it, Homebrew leaves pieces 
{grounds?) in many locations which can cause problems with other apps. There 
are ways of letting them coexist, but be cautious.MacPorts, however, is easily 
uninstalled (as is Fink- which I used to use). I use MacPorts because it better 
fit my needs.

As far as I can see, Homebrew core doesn't support lilypond at all –
there is no recipe in the `homebrew-core' git repository.  And
`homebrew-cask' has been recently `updated', apparently, from 2.19.82
to 2.18.2, no longer providing access to the development version.

Try the `lilypond-devel' package from MacPorts instead.

Right. 2.19.82 is the current devel download from the LilyPond 
site.  It is also possible to install it through using the 
homebrew package manager. It appears as though, at a rough guess, 
the build of that is broken (it links against an old version of 
ghostscript).

It would seem the best way to install lilypond is to download 
it from the official site.

Hello,

Did you check the order of the folders in $PATH? Maybe there’s in a wrong order.

I’m still running OS X 10.13.6 though, to avoid upgrading Finale which I use 
for tests. 

Always been installing Lily from the ready-to-install dmg’s, and never had such 
problems. My current version is 2.19.82.

So I have two machines, both Macs on OSX 10.13.6, and one runs
fine, and the other doesn't. 

The working one is 2.19.82, so the dev branch installed from the
LilyPond website (I guess)

The broken one is 2.18.2, installed from homebrew. Lilypond seems
to work fine, however it breaks on using ghostscript. It seems this
version was built against an older version of the gs dynamic library
and now it spits the dummy, but it does produce the .ps file:

Recently, I've completely updated MacPorts's `lilypond-devel' package
(but not `lilypond'), which should be primarily used today since the
2.18 series is no longer supported.

In case there are problems please report them!

Ok, weirdly enough just running ps2pdf on the generated PDFs does work -
both the version in the Lilypond app and the new Ghostscript version. But
Lilypond is still hanging when doing the conversion itself

Good to know, thanks!

I've been playing around with a few of the suggestions, including Homebrew
and updating Ghostscript, and have now helpfully got to the point where
Lilypond won't open at all, on its own or in Frescobaldi. Using --V comes
up with the same 'unsupported compressor' errors as before, and then it
just hangs without fully opening. So, fun times...

Re: Lilypond not rendering PDF on Mac

[Stan Sanderson]

I’m running  Mac OS 10.14.2 with Lilypond 2.19.82 installed from the site’s 
disk image and using Fescobaldi 2.20.0, Frescobaldi is set to output pdf and 
does so without a problem. ps2pdf is located in /usr/local/bin/ps2pdf.

Compiling a file directly from the Lilypond app also produces the expected pdf 
file.

While it doesn’t help much to have someone tell you it works on their machine, 
it does at least tell you it's possible. 

In my case, I have been using Lilypond somewhat continuously on Macs over the 
years and upgrading the OS as it comes. I have never experienced the problem 
you mentioned.

(off-topic: The only concern I have is that the next version of the OS will 
require 64-bit apps; Lilypond is 32)

I looked at this and it seems the culprit is the draw_round_box
procedure which uses 'max' and 'min' operators, which are not part
of standard PostScript, but are available in Ghostscript:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/PostScript_FAQ#Where_are_min_and_max_functions?

Adding this to the PostScript output (before draw_round_box is
defined) makes it double-clickable in OS X:

 /min { 2 copy gt { exch } if pop } bind def
 /max { 2 copy lt { exch } if pop } bind def


Is it possible to include these in music-drawing-routines.ps so
that the .ps output could be processed with non-Ghostscript
interpreters?

Cheers,
Tyler

I also can't open .ps files produced by LilyPond without first
running 'ps2pdf' on them. If I try opening them in Preview, the
error I get in the system log is:

2019-01-09 9:40:52.859 AM Preview[13176]: PostScript conversion encountered 
errors: %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: max ]%%

I would guess that, if lilypond --ps test.ly works and produces a
PostScript file without error, then it's the ps2pdf coversion
that's failing.

If you have access to another system with Ghostscript installed,
you could copy your test.ps file there, then run:

$ ps2pdf test.ps

That should prove that the PostScript generation is working well.
(Or you could send the list a test.ps file and we could try it.)

What I'm wondering is whether the version of Ghostscript bundled
with LilyPond might need updating for compatibility. On my system,
I use Homebrew, and I have a more up-to-date version of gs:

Homebrew version:

  $ which lilypond
  /usr/local/bin/lilypond
  $ gs -v
  GPL Ghostscript 9.26 (2018-11-20)

Version shipping with 2.18.2:

  GPL Ghostscript 8.70 (2009-07-31)
  Copyright (C) 2009 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.

Version shipping with 2.19.82:

  GPL Ghostscript 9.21 (2017-03-16)
  Copyright (C) 2017 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.

I am (happily) stuck at El Capitan at the moment, so I can't test
this easily on High Sierra, but perhaps using a newer Ghostscript
is worth a try.

Thats a big version jump for Apple, up to 14 from 13.

At least it's working for me.
But I recall I encountered the same issue when using lilypond from a
Macport installation.
It was solved when I used the one available on lilypond.org.

Was this one installed from lilypond.org or from any other source ?

That's what I was wondering.  Might be helpful to make from source rather than 
using the precompiled binary.  The MacOS update to 14.2 might have broken 
something- different version of some library or other- but building anew might 
resolve it, at the risk of dependency hell.

Thanks everyone, here's the latest:

>I would suggest you check that you can run Lilypond in command-line mode

It makes a postscript file, but it looks a mess. I'm now suspecting this
stage is the problem, rather than the pstopdf, because it seems to be a
struggle to get the postscript file to open in anything at all. Again
though, it's making SVGs from Frescobaldi fine.

>I would try running something like:

This also hangs, and produces the following output. Any help would be much
appreciated!

Probably you need to add the path to your lilypond and ps2pdf binaries to your 
$PATH.

Depending on where you installed LilyPond.app, it should be something like 
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/

Add to your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.profile):

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/

I would try running something like:

$ lilypond -V --ps --pdf test.ly

It will show the command it's using to convert the .ps file to PDF,
eg:

gs -dNOSAFER -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595.28 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=841.89 
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r1200 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite 
-sOutputFile=./test.pdf -c.setpdfwrite -ftest.ps

And, you'll be left with the original .ps file.

So then you could try that gs command, perhaps even adding -dDEBUG
to see what's going on.

Cheers,
Tyler

Hi, Stephen.

This is all sounding very familiar - I switched to Mac in 2013, and I’m sorry 
to say I solved this or a similar problem without taking note of how I did it.

I think it may have had to do with the installation of (the right version of?) 
GhostScript.

I would suggest you check that you can run Lilypond in command-line mode using 
the “-ps” switch to generate a PostScript file.

See: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage.pdf

If that works, and inspection of the resulting .ps file with a text editor 
looks credible, the conversion of PS to PDF is your problem.

You should already have a copy of “ps2pdf” installed, along with lilypond.

Try entering...

which ps2pdf

…on the command-line and see what you get.

On my Mac I get:

| => which ps2pdf
ps2pdf is /usr/local/bin/ps2pdf
ps2pdf is /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/ps2pdf
ps2pdf is /usr/local/bin/ps2pdf

I’m not sure how lilypond finds ps2pdf (or equivalent) when it converts a PS to 
a PDF file, but if you have a working copy of ps2pdf on your Mac it needs to be 
in the path that lilypond searches for executables.

Sorry not to be more specific, hope this helps.

Regards,

Michael

Lilypond not rendering PDF on Mac

[Stephen Wilkinson]

Sorry, not sure if I've posted this twice

I've recently installed Lilypond (2.18.2) onto a new Mac (OS X 14.2),  but
have run into a problem at the beginning. Lilypond hangs when rendering a
file at the 'Converting to .pdf.' stage.

I've tried this both with the default test file and scores I've already
got, and both through and without Frescobaldi. I've got it rendering to
SVGs as a workaround, but Frescobaldi's handling of them isn't quite as
fluent, so it would be nice to be able to make PDFs as normal. Any ideas?
 Thanks
