I have a lilypond file which is a 4 part vocal score, 20 bars long. It
runs with no visible error and prints correctly. I have tried:
1. Using OOolilypond 0.4. I inserted my file into the template "direct to
lilypond", it produces lots of syntax errors. I found a minimal example:
\key c \major aes the aes is an unexpected string
2. Using the pdf import extension from openoffice.org. This comes
with no instructions saying how you should use it. I did file > open on
my music.pdf file and set the document class to pdf . The file was
read and something appeared which was clearly my score, but all
of the noteheads and most of the lyrics were missing. The surviving
lyrics were about 1 letter per word, and in a horrible looking font.
I think this may be because openoffice cannot find the required fonts,
but I dont know what fonts are needed or where to install them. On my
system (Ubuntu unix 8.04) there are at least 20 directories containing
font files.
3. Using lilypond-book. I took the example from Sec 4.1 of the online
lilypond manual and replaced screech-boink.ly with my music.ly .
Again the result was recognisable but the bars were in the wrong order
and some bars were missing altogether.
Thanks for any help, Mark
