LilyPondTool MacOSX help

[Sean Reed]

Hi Bertalan,

I used LilyPondTool exclusively for all my scores with enormous satisfaction until April of 2005 on Mac OSX.

I recently updated the tool, but it no longer works. Things appear to have changed.

Maybe you could help me out a bit.

I've downloaded the plugin in jEdit4.2 and all of the associate plugins.

In the plugin options, I put in the bash shell path as /bin/bash.

However, the options seem quite Windows-based, since there is a choice for "native" or "cygwin", and since the PDF viewer is listed with an .exe (when I try to choose the Preview.app, I have to go all the way into the contents of the application to find the unix binary).

The menu bar appears, just like it used to.

When I try to compile the score, I get the following error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: console.Console.setShell(Ljava/lang/String;)V

with a whole long list of sub-errors.

Recently, another user wrote to the list asking about something similar. 

He replaced the new version of the Console with an older one, but still received this error:

AWT-EventQueue-0: java.io.IOException: convert-ly: not found

I experienced the same problem.

Any clues on what to do to get it running again?

LilyPondTool was always a great asset in my work on scores.

Best,

Sean
