Re: Error when running LilyPond on Windows

[Jakub]

Hi Jean,

This is my first time using the library, so I don't know if it worked in the past. I am running Windows 8.1

Testing out the latest unstable version, it seems to work like a charm.

Thank you very much!

Jakub

That is strange. What version of Windows are you using? Did it work in
the past? Can you try the current unstable version, 2.23.80
(https://lilypond.org/development.html)?

Best,
