Re: garbled output, error

[N. Andrew Walsh]

Hi Urs,

My desktop is a gentoo system which builds directly from the git repository (gentoo has something like a "live" package, with a version number -9999 at the end, that pulls from the live branch). On my sytem, that returns a lily version of 2.19.22. My laptop, however, is an ubuntu system (never managed to get gentoo working on it, alas!), for which I have 2.19.21 installed from the .sh file available on the website.

So, it's probably the case that whatever the issue is will come up again when I get home. If it's any help, a lot of my system fonts now appear much sharper (say, in the file manager, or Firefox), which I suspect has to do with a recent update to one of the base packages. I'll let you know when I get home.

Thanks for the help.

2.19.22 isn't released yet AFAICS. Do you have a custom built LilyPond?

It's not clear what you say. Do you have a laptop with something <
2.19.22 and a home pc with a custom build from the 2.19.22 line?

If that's the case then probably you'll experience the problem at home
again because the changes in LilyPond have been introduced there.

I assume I'll have to change the implementation (and look for other
parts where this might matter) and introduce a version switch so the
code executed from openLilyLib depends on the LilyPond version.

I'm approaching the state to be able to work properly again.
Unfortunately I have to pick up a presentation for upcoming Wednesday.
Anyone in or near Karlsruhe BTW?
