Hi,
hope to find some informations here about reading error messages
Example:
Processing `.../file.ly'
Parsing...
.../file.ly:16:30: error: unrecognized string, not in text script or \lyricmode
fis8 fis fis fis d d d4 g (
h) h h8 h8
.../file.ly:16:33: error: unrecognized string, not in text script or \lyricmode
fis8 fis fis fis d d d4 g (h)
h h8 h8
Where can I find a short description?
It's just filename:linenumber:columnnumber: errormessage
and then the offending line, split into two just at the offending
location. In your case, the first occurences of h are flagged since h
is not part of the default note language.
Maybe this particular error message should be "`h' is not a notename"
instead. It's nice that the string would be allowed in a text script or
\lyricmode, but if someone writes
blabla = \new Lyrics { Shall I com- pare thee to a summer's day? }
the error message "`Shall' is not a note name" is probably clue enough
about what is happening.
Namely we should say what is wrong _here_ rather than mentioning where
it could be right.
