Re: help on invoking lilypond-book

[Mats Bengtsson]

I just tried a small example here and couldn't repeat your problems.
From the printouts you provided, it seems that the calls to gs fail,
which might provide a hint on where the problem is.

Don't you get any file OUT/Compendio.tex at all? You didn't include the
last lines of the printouts. It should say something like:

Writing `Compendio.tex'...
Writing fonts to Compendio.psfonts...


Regarding pdfetex, I think you are confused. I guess that you use a
teTeX version 3 installation or related TeX installation. There,
the command latex will actually call the same program (pdfetex)
as pdflatex, for example. Internally, pdfetex notices that it was called
under the name "latex" and will behave correspondingly. If you run
latex on any normal .tex file, you will notice the same printout:

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)

or something similar.

You didn't say what operating system you  used. If you are on Windows,
there's a silly bug so that you have to call lilypond-book twice to get the
actual .tex file.
