Federico,
I do have another small LilyDev/VirtualBox problem. I’m having trouble using
the Shared Folders feature to give me access to a folder in my Mac file system
from LilyDev in VirtualBox. The folder I want to share is
/Users/John/Documents/LilyPond in the Mac file system. It’s privilege is set to
Read & Write for everyone. I’ve defined it in VirtualBox with the name
LilyPond, with Auto-mount Yes, and with Access Full. In Debian I can see a
folder with the name /media/sf_LilyPond, but I can’t look into it. When I try I
get the error message, “Error opening directory ‘media/sf_LilyPond’: Permission
denied”. Do you know what I'm missing?
Also, in your last message you mentioned the ca-certificates package. I don’t
understand the significance of this missing piece.
I can compile LilyDev itself and the documentation, and I’m becoming familiar
with git. I’m looking at the LilyPond Contributor’s Guide, but I have to admit
that it’s a bit overwhelming. It suggests that I should have a mentor, which
sounds like a great idea. How do I go about getting one? I’m a recently retired
software engineer highly experienced with C++, less with Unix, and not at all
with Scheme. I’m not a musician, and I’ve used LilyPond only for toy examples
so far. I once knew a lot about using computers to engrave music, as I was the
principle investigator for the MusiCopy Project at Ohio State University in the
1980s. I’m sure that much has changed since then, but I’m pleased to say that
LilyDev looks to be very much like what MusiCopy might have been if we’d had an
opportunity to complete it. I’d like to help further the project in some way.
