It works.....

[Peter Teeson]

OK the answer is so simple with the 20/20 vision of hindsight and your 
and Mat's feedback.
Mac files use different line endings than Unix or Windows.
Mac file uses 0x0D
0000: 5C 73 63 6F 72 65 20 7B 0D 09 5C 6E 6F 74 65 73   \score {..\notes
0010: 20 7B 20 63 27 34 20 65 27 20 67 27 20 7D 0D 7D    { c'4 e' g' }.}
0020: 0D
Unix file uses 0x0A
0000: 5C 73 63 6F 72 65 20 7B 0A 09 5C 6E 6F 74 65 73   \score {..\notes
0010: 20 7B 20 63 27 34 20 65 27 20 67 27 20 7D 0A 7D   { c'4 e' g' }.}
0020: 0A
Windows uses 0x0D0A
0000: 5C 73 63 6F 72 65 20 7B 0D 0A 09 5C 6E 6F 74 65  \score {...\note
0010: 73 20 7B 20 63 27 34 20 65 27 20 67 27 20 7D 0D    s { c'4 e' g' 
}.
0020: 0A 7D 0D 0A

When I saved the file with Unix line endings it worked.
Similarly when saving it as DOS/Windows.

So you probably have already fixed it for Mac line endings in the 
current unstable version?

Anyway thanks for your help on this.

respect....
