Hi Aaron,
I am confused about this "file information" LSR.
Yesterday, I did a ""file>save as" to a file name to untitled_LSR_file-info_v2182.ly. This morning I tried to run the untitled_LSR_file-info_v2182.ly, but I got run error:
As a result I did the following:
1. run frecobaldi v3.1.3 -- untitled tab appeared and copy LSR-"file information" to the untitled tab. Add \version "2.18.2" at the beginning of the tab. Run lilypond and it works.
I did run a couple times and they worked fine.
2. I changed the version to \version "2.23.3" and ran lilypond and it worked. Please note I did not run convert-ly. And it worked. Confused?
3. I did file>save as to untitled_LSR-file-info_v2233.ly
4. I did file manager, selected the files I saved and double clicks to run them and they both failed -- GUILE signaled an error.
5. Observations:
5.1 convert-ly was not needed in this case.
5.2 It seems that running the untitled tab works fine for both versions of lilypond.
5.3 I also noticed that the pdf generated did not match with the LSR "file information". the \header { dedication = ..... } printout missing or not properly formatted. i.e. missing .... using scheme "define" .... and .... using "ly:export" ..... in "music view"
5.3 It was hard to decipher "filen" -- it seemed it was in a temporary location. I cannot locate the temporary file location.
5.4 I was hoping by doing "save as", when I ran the file I would get the file name and file location path. So that this info can be printed on lilypond score output pdf.
5.5 Is there any other way to get the file path (location) and file name from lilypond coding?
Thank you for your help.
