Re: lily jazz

[Jeff Knox]

Thanks guys, it's beginning to make a little more sense now.

My script is here:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\include "lilyjazz.ily"

\score {

  \new Staff {

    \jazzOn

    c'4 c' \tuplet 3/2 { d'8-- es'-- e'-- } g'4 ~ |

    g'4 r r8 f'-^ \noBeam es' c'-> \bar "|."

  }

}

\version "2.20.0"  % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond versions.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I've downloaded all the files which Jacques shows in the /otf directory (didn't bother with the svg and woff files since i'm only interested in pdf output at this point ... am i assuming correctly?). Also put lilyjazz.ily, lilyjazz-chord, and lilyjazz-text in the same directory, but on compiling the above script, the result is the same result: "error: cannot find file: lilyjazz.ily.

I can think of two possible issues:

1) Do the .ily files have to go in a specific directory?

2) I copied and pasted the .ily files into separate text files (couldn't see any way to download or install them directly from GitHub) and saved those in the /otf directory ... are the .ily files something more than just text?

Anyway, thanks for your help so far.

Jeff

PS I imply from Robin's suggestion that spaces are characters ... are we also case sensitive?

I keep an old version of LilyPond with the lilyjazz fonts in it in the /Applications folder, and copy the latter to new versions with this script:

menu@macbookprojm: ~/Documents/PartitionsLilypond > cat InstallLilyJazzFontsForLilyPond.bash

set -x

cd /Applications

ls LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/fonts/*

set +x

#and then:

I chose these locations because the error message i get on compiling a
simple .ly file gives them as "search paths" (among others). Obviously, the
wrong locations as I get a message: "cannot find file: 'lily jazz.ily"

Somewhere near the start of your .ly file you should have the line

\include "lilyjazz.ily"

The filename has no spaces in it, has it?


Cheers,
