Re: Poor error reporting

[Mats Bengtsson]

Does the program run to the end or does it crash in the middle?
I don't think there have been many changes in the printouts from
LilyPond, but if you have happened to trigger a bug that gives a
segmentation fault, then it may happen that you don't get any
useful information.

If you want more help from the mailing list, please at least provide
a copy of the printouts from lilypond --verbose or send the complete
input files.
