Many thanks - yes, that's what it was. I'm using VSCode and its Lilypond extension, and I had installed the vscode-pdf viewer, which clashed with my LaTeX-Workshop extension, which has its own PDF viewer in it. Anyway, after a bit of fiddling and a few VSCode restarts I was able to use the LaTeX pdf viewer for the Lilypond output. All good now!As it's now 1am, and I have been wrestling with some 17th century music (full of huge leaps and multiple changes of clef), time for whisky... and sleep!Thank you again,AlasdairOn Sun, May 24, 2020 at 11:56 PM Phil Holmes <address@hidden> wrote:You get this sort of error if the PDF from the previous compilation is still open in many PDF viewers - they lock the file. Try closing your PDF viewer and trying again.

fatal error: failed files: "C:\\Users\\amca\\Lilypond\\Butler_divisions_D_major.ly"When I changed the name of the file it compiled once, and then wouldn't compile again - it threw the same error message.As I say, this is a new installation - just installed this afternoon, and there were no previous versions of Lilypond on this system. I've checked a few times, and the only way I can get a new compilation is to rename the file.
What's going on here and how can I fix it?Thanks,--
