Re: Trouble with EPS backend output use

[Joshua Nichols]

I'm on Macintosh.

Perhaps you misunderstand me: I do not have issues viewing or editing any other EPS file on my system except for the ones created by LilyPond.

Josh

Hi Joshua,

What operating system are you on? On Linux the default PDF viewer is usually evince, which can view EPS files. On windows you may have to install a program to view them, such as ghostscript/ghostview.

If you use pdflatex I think you need to load an extra package (graphicx maybe?) in order to embed EPS files.

Hello List,

I'm having issues embedding EPS files produced in the back end feature in 2.18.x.

Whenever I create it, I cannot adequately open it in, lets say, illustrator, or another vector editor, nor can I embed it in a pages or lyx/latex file without getting errors about the file type.

I once could get it to inkscape, but it it couldn't produce the note heads and various other vector fonts which I assumed were embedded in the file.

I work mainly with Frescobaldi on the front end.

Help?

​Sincerely,

Josh
