Re: lyluatex failing to start LilyPond

[Kevin Barry]

Update: after some debugging I was able to verify that this is caused
by a bug in the version of Texlive shipped with Fedora 28 (I was able
to reproduce the issue described here:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/450184/shell-command-error-when-compiling-with-lualatex-shell-escape-in-fedora-28).
It's from a pre-release version of Texlive 2017, which is apparently
what's in Fedora 28. There isn't even an updated version of Texlive in
Fedora's testing repository. I will try installing from TUG directly
and see if the issue goes away.
