RE: Frescobaldi sudden failures on all machines

[peter.gentry]

Urs I agree I have tried dragging a "good"  desktop file onto the Lilypond 
short cut and nothing happens. Re-installing Lily has made things worse (the 
latest 2.19.6 version cannot be downloaded but I had a saved file.)

I second Andrew's suspicion that it is not related to Frescobaldi at all. If 
Frescobaldi fails you would either get an error pop-up or in severe cases the 
Window might disappear.
If you can read about an error in the log window it's most likely a LilyPond 
error.

Please compile your files directly using LilyPond from the command line, then 
report what is happening.
