Re: Running PY utiities

[Mats Bengtsson]

Which LilyPond version?

Why not try and see what happens. At least if you use the latest
stable version, 2.8.5-1, you will notice that convert-ly and most
of the other utilities work as a charm. lilypond-book still has some
problems, see the mailing list archives. It seems that there's some
strange problem with these Python scripts in the latest development
versions, though (haven't tried myself but deduced from the mailing
list).
