Hi Michael,

You're a genius!  Thankyouthankyou!

I now have my computer set up in its native location (on antediluvian
dial-up), and tried compiling a file again.  This time it said
something about /lilypond, so I opened up the plugin dialog, and
inserted /usr/local/bin in the top line, and all worked fine!

BTW, they ?usr/home/ ... was a typo on my part copying the contents of
the dialog into the email (wasn't possible to swipe and paste).

So now I can compile .ly files, but when I tried to convert-ly from
the icons in jEdit LilypondTool, I got the following:

"/usr/home/gord/Documents/songs/LilypondSets/brother_james_air.ly"
/usr/local/bin/python: can't open file '/usr/local/bin/convert-ly.py':
[Errno 2] No such file or directory
Processing time: 0 seconds

Any ideas how to fix that?

Thanks,

Gordon+
