• summary: fails to compile file on windows SMB share --> Windows: Lilypond cannot manage UNC paths
• Comment:

My tests on Windows 10 indicate that lilypond.exe can't handle UNC
notation. This is true even of a local file.

First I "type" the file and it works fine with UNC. Then I try to launch
LilyPond with the same file name and it can't find the file.

Bug or future feature?

I am trying to double-click a .ly file that is in a network share. When I
do so, the following log file is created:

------------
# -*-compilation-*-
warning: can't find file:
`\\server\fgasper\my_docs\Scores\editions\conditor3-alt_lyrics.ly'
error: failed files:
"\\\\server\\fgasper\\my_docs\\Scores\\editions\\conditor3-alt_lyrics.ly"
------------

If I copy the file to my Windows desktop and double-click on it there,
everything works as normal.
