First of all, I hope you are aware of the big security risks of running LilyPond on a server in this way. There are flags to run in safe mode, check the documentation and the mailing list archives. Regarding your problems, the first thing I would try would be to add the flag --verbose to get more

Unfortunately, you have to do it yourself (one reason is that there is no real typesetting standard on how to do it). See the section on "Manual repeat commands". /Mats Quoting Matthew Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I have a 4 bar passage that repeats 5 times (i.e., ||: <4 bars> :|| x 5) wit

Thanks, Graham. I failed to mention that the -dbackend=eps option works outside of OOo. I verified that before making the changes to Subs.xba. I think this is some other script error inside OOoLilypond passing a bad value to Lilypond, but I don't have a clue from the LilyPond error message where

If you just want the line to indicate that a voice passes between the staves, look in section "Staff switch lines" in the manual. If you want a glissando, just make sure to let keep the musical voice in one and the same Voice context and let it switch stave: g4 \glissando \change Staff = up c S
