Re: Point-and-click on Frescobaldi?

[Father Gordon Gilbert]

Thanks, Wilbert,

I had figured it was something like that, but I am too far from geeky
to be able to implement something that complicated.  I certainly do
make use of it, though!

I have another problem now, however.

When I upgraded Lily to the latest (2.15.33) and began to use Fresco
again to work on a new file, the whole thing seems broken!  Not sure
what I did, but in the compliation panel, all I get is the following:

Starting lilypond-windows.exe. [file.ly]...
Could not start lilypond-windows.exe.
Please check path and permissions.

I didn't *actively* do anything to the path or permissions, and I even
tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Frescobaldi and LilyPond,
with no improvement.

Where to I look to find the problem, and how can I fix it?  Holy Week
is coming up, and I have some things I need to do!  Help!

Thanks for a fantastic program.

Blessings,

Gordon+
