lilypond inclusion not working.

Open DrMartinus opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hi, I run Manjaro Linux (up to date) with KDE Plasma and canorus is version 0.7.3rc3 I have started a short piece of music, one voice, lyrics, and wanted to get kind of a preview via pdf - no pdf is being generated and there is no error message. When trying to print it tells me to install lilypond, which is installed, and to check the settings, which show lilypond active. There is no way to add the proper path to lilypond (the field is greyed out). There is also no way to add a pdf-viewer, it just enabled the "default" viewer, which is of course set on the system. To break the system (it's just one voice) at a particular position seems impossible, or rather I don't know how to do it. But this would be secondary for now.

I apologize, I found out how it works, I entered the correct path to the lilypond binary (/bin/lilypond), yet it says that it's not installed. Hence it's useless.

/bin is an unusual path for binaries, but I don't see why it shouldn't work. I have recently used the same function with the development version, so if there was an issue, it's meanwhile fixed.
