Re: Help with JEdit/LilyPondTool user problem

[Ole Schmidt]

not sure if I understand your problem correctly...

if you open the terminal and drag your LilyPond in the window the correct path is displayed.

As mentioned before if your LilyPond is named "LilyPond 2" you have to escape the space

So, if your Lilypond 2.app lives in the Application Folder the correct path is:

/Applications/LilyPond\ 2.app/Contents/Resources/bin

You can also rename LilyPond 2.app to LilyPond.app via the information window of the app.

then your Jedit/Plugins/PluginOptions/Lilypondtool/Commands have to look like this:

I tried that, but the directory is called LilyPond 2.app, not LilyPond.app.

In any case, when I make that small substitution, it still says no such file or directory.  The MacBook seems to want to force it to look in my user director, not on the rest of the hard drive.  The full path is this:

I am just about ready to give up.  I think it may be a Mac thing.  But this is too much effort to waste on something that should be so simple.  Under JEdit/PlugIns/PlugIn Options, I put the whole specific path:

/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/LilyPond 2.app/Contents/Resources/bin/

You'd think that would be specific enough.  But JEdit seems to want to make JEdit look for LilyPond in my user directory, where it's NOT.  When I try to drill down to where it actually lives by using the "..." icon at the end of the path space, when I get to the LilyPond 2.app directory, it's grayed-out and I can't choose it.  I have no idea what this means, but I'm just about ready to give up.

If you have any more ideas, I'd appreciate hearing them.  It really seems dumb that I can't even get the program to start from within LilyPondTool.

Hi Seth,

just cut an paste the following line into "Path to LilyPond binary":

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/

This should solve your problem.

HTH,

I am still getting errors.  I cut and pasted your line into "Path to LilyPond binary":

Error running external command

See the activity log about the problem

Cannot run program "/Applications/LilyPond\ 2.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond" (in directory "/Applications"): error=2, No such file or directory

Under Plugin Options, I have this as the "Path to LilyPond binary":

/Applications/LilyPond\ 2.app/Contents/Resources/bin

Under LilyPond command I have:

lilypond

Can you explain to me what's wrong about this and why I can't get the program started?

Greetings,

it should look like

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/

Or, if your app's name contains spaces, you have to escape them:

/Applications/LilyPond\ 2.app/Contents/Resources/bin/

Good luck!

Valentin
