Thanks for getting back to me about this! I tried to follow your
instructions here, but became confused due to my inexperience mucking
around outside of my ~/ directory.

However, since you also suggested what would have been a more
straightforward solution to my original query, I uninstalled Lilypond
and reinstalled again with the --documentation switch. Then I corrected
the links in my /usr/share/info/dir document as you suggested, and now
everything works as it should---images and all.

Thank you again,
Steven

Re: texinfo manual?

2014-08-26 Thread Hwaen Ch'uqi
Gretings,

Have you found a remedy for the problem of broken images in LilyPond's
texinfo manuals? If not, I believe I have found the answer, though at
a slight cost of self-guilt. The images are broken because, as the
manuals are now in a different directory, the file paths of the images
given in the source code no longer work. The easiest solution is to
return the texinfo files to their original directory (which in my case
was /usr/lilypond/usr/share/info) and to modify the LilyPond entries
in your /usr/share/info/dir file to reflect the manuals' new location.
So, for example, if the entry for the notation manual looks something
like this,

* LilyPond Notation Reference: (lilypond-notation).

then you should edit it to look something like this:

* LilyPond Notation Reference: (/usr/lilypond/usr/share/info/lilypond-notation).

(Of course, this may vary slightly depending upon where you installed
LilyPond.) Finally, make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that, in the directory
where you have returned the info files, there is still a lilypond
link. In my dired buffer, the full line reads like this:

  lrwxrwxrwx  1 hwaen 1002 35 Mar 17 13:04 lilypond ->
../doc/lilypond/html/Documentation/

Without this symbolic link, which is assumed to exist by the given
path of each png file in the source code of the manuals, you will
still see no images.

So, in sum, the original answer to your question should have been a
lot smoother, and that was merely to put entries in your
/usr/share/info/dir file that acknowledged the existence of the
LilyPond texinfo files and indicated where the texinfo reader could
find them. I am sorry to have initially misdirected you, and I should
have waited until my own emacs was running again before advising you.
If your have further questions, you may write to me off-list, as I
believe the necessary information for Lily users who use texinfo
manuals on emacs has now been covered.

My only issue now is that in the manuals, none of the images display. In
every case where there would be a music example, it says, "[broken image]."

Greetings,

I have never used `C-u C-h i', and my emacs is currently down, so I
canot exactly replicate your situation. However, one thing I have
consistently had to do with these installations is to manualy update
the dir file in the /usr/share/info directory; this is why some files
may not appear to be present upon first glance. Again, this will
likely have to be done as root. Before making any changes to the file,
study carefully its contents; you will want to emulate the format in
your own additions. Basically, each entry consists of four parts. The
first is the asterisk (*), which tells the info reader that a new
entry has begun. The second is the title which you would like to see
given in the main menu. I don't remember offhand, but it may be
followed immediately by a colon (:); if so, you MUST include this. The
third is the actual file names without the .info extension; make sure
that it is placed in parentheses, matches exactly the case of the file
name (since case sensitivity rules in linux), and is closed with a
period (>) AFTER the parentheses. Finally, fourth is the short
description of the file's contents. I have found that the last part is
optional. Your current dir file will most likely not have a LilyPond
section heading. You can easily instantiate one, preceding it with two
newlines and following it with one. I recall that in ubuntu's
installation, there was the possibility of quickly entering
subsections of the LilyPond manuals. I don't know how to do this, but
I believe that entries in the dir file should reveal this.

One final note: I have found that, when adding or updating a program
via the automated process, and if it comes with an info file, ubuntu
will rewrite the dir file, and your contributions wil be missing. Not
to panic! A backup file, dir~, will be made, and you should find your
changes there. Copy them and insert them into the new dir file. It is

 Greetings Steven,

 The manuals are in Texinfo format, and the good news is that they are
 merely hidden. Going off the top of my head, I believe the files are
 located in the folder lilypond/usr/share/info. There, you should find
 just over 30 files, most with a .info extension. Move them to your
 folder called /usr/share/info. N.B. -- You may need to be root to do
 this. Then you should be able to access the files with `c-h i'. I hope
 this helps.

LilyPond installs everything into @prefix@/lilypond/.  We add
symlinks to @prefix@/bin/lilypond and the like, so most people
don't notice.  My best guess is that this makes it easier to deal
with the osx app format and/or mingw progra~1 ?  but that's a
complete guess.  In keeping with that, I suppose that we could
make the --doc add such a symlink.

Anybody interested in poking at the installation scripts is of
course welcome to do so, but it won't be pretty.

That's not avoidable, since the search engine is Google :-)

The nicest solution would be the documentation builded by Reinhold:
http://www.kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/notation/index.html#top 

There's an open issue about it:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1270 


Another possible solution is the index mapping of tools such as Sphinx.
For example, the Python documentation:
http://docs.python.org/

Did you try install lilypond with the --doc option ?

sh lilypond-2.14.1-1.linux-x86.sh --doc

Then the documentation is downloaded and uncompressed and available here :

file:///home/user/lilypond/usr/share/doc/lilypond/html/index.html
file:///home/user/lilypond/usr/share/info/dir

Maybe the second one is the appropriate format that you're looking for..

Hope it helps.

Emacs has no "texinfo facility" but rather an _info_ reader.  When
installing from source, you need to separately call "make info" and
"sudo make install-info" in order to get the info manuals in place
(including graphics that current versions of Emacs can display).

I have no idea whether the documentation comes in a separate
distribution if you install precompiled binaries.
