Hello.

I mainly use Linux but recently I've tried to use OOoLilyPond with my
LibreOffice 5 on Windows 10, but it's failing. Windows 10 keeps crashing
LibreOffice whenever I try to convert the LP code into my document (as
normal).

I keep getting BASIC errors, like "BASIC runtime error. Variable not
defined".

How can I fix this on Windows, I don't understand the make and eps issues
mentioned in previous posts.

Thank you for helping!
