Does Elysium/Lilypond work under MacOS 14?

[dickvalentine]

I recently upgraded to Eclipse v 23-12, and it seems that Lilypond no longer compiles or displays my scores. Yowch! A look around the thsoft (http://thsoft.hu/) website suggests no Lilypond or Elysium updates since 2021. Am I the last lilypond user standing? Is it time for me to go back to my former hand-edit/command-compile/pdf-review routine?

thanks for any response!

Dear Dick,

please provide the following information:

• the exact steps you performed
• the actual output you got
• the output you would have expected
  Make sure to include screenshots/screencast and the contents of the Error Log view (from the main menu, select Window > Show view > Other. Then select General > Error Log).

Thank you in advance!

1. start eclipse from taskbar icon
2. make changes to already-selected file in editor
3. save .ly file [command] s
4. no pdf score appears, in window nor on file system

subsequent attempt to update or install from thsoft.hu fail via apparent non-visibility of the source platform to current "marketplace" searchable content

[thSoft]

Thank you for the information, and I apologize for the inconvenience. I will update to macOS 14 myself and investigate the issue.

Sorry to butt in...
@dickvalentine : Could you check the following points, as the screenshots indicate that Elysium is not completely broken (Score Library view present, Score view present, syntax highlighting,..)

• Do you have a lilypond file for which the pdf is already generated? If so, select it in the Score Library view an check if the pdf is shown in the Score view.
• Elysium itself does not compile the file, it uses the lilypond installed on your system. Check that the path to the executable is configured correctly. The configuration at Window->Preferences->LilyPond->Compiler (maybe you have to press F10 to see the main menu entries?) should have an entry "Path to LilyPond executable" pointing to the file you would use for manual compilation.
• Is there any output in the console view if you explicitly invoke compilation (Ctrl-R or LilyPond->Recompile Edited) for an open lilypond file?

Dear Alexander, Thank you for your diagnostic tips. I tried your suggested tests, and got results as follows: - My workspace has many lilypond files and associated outputs. The answer is, yes, if I select an existing score from the project "Score Library" it is properly displayed in the Score View. See attached screen shot. I use emacs for editing, compile from the command line, and view with "open" as a workaround to the instant issue. There is a pdf output for my current score project in the same directory with my other workspace files, but it does not appear in the "Score Library" list. Therefore, I can't select that score for the test. - Lilypond is set to use the working, current lilypond executable from its installed place. See attached screen shot. The location matches the invocation I use in my ~/bin/lilypond shell script, quote: exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@" - I tried Ctrl-R (also Command-R), and neither had any effect I could observe. In particular, no output to the console view. I'm unable to locate a "Recompile" in any of the menus. Thanks very much for your attention to my issue. I'm pleased to try any further sensible diagnostic or potential self-repair you might recommend. Meanwhile, as I mentioned, it seems I'll be doing my work in emacs/command-line for the foreseeable. sincerely, --richard robinson PS, screenshots made my message too big to deliver, it seems. This message sent without attachments. Sorry. I'll upload them to the ticket if you want.

I updated eclipse in my Mac environment (Sonoma 14.4.1) to the recent Eclipse v 2024-03. Ensured the marketplace client was installed. Marketplace doesn't have any reference to elysium nor to lilypond, as far as I can tell. I also tried the "drag & drop" button from your website http://elysium.thsoft.hu/, again no success. I've been using emacs as my development environment, not as convenient for workflow as elysium but has the advantage that I can create scores, at least. Any info you might provide regarding why I can't get elysium installed, or a workaround to get it going, or an estimate if/when it will be available via marketplace, would be much appreciated. thanks!

[dickvalentine]

Dear (former?) Elysium team: I installed Eclipse version of 06/24. It runs okay, but of course a fresh install does not have elysium available by default. I looked for elysium in marketplace, but it is not there. This makes me sad. I have been an enthusiastic user of lilypond since the early 2000's, and used the eclipse ide to support score editing and creation since I first encountered elysium. Is it gone forever now? or is there some chance it will be revived? thanks, --dick valentine ***@***.***, ***@***.***)

Dear Dick,

thank you for your enthusiasm and sorry for the late reply. I have readded Elysium to the Eclipse Marketplace, I will notify you when it becomes available after moderation. In the meantime, can you please update Elysium to the latest 0.7.0 version from the update site https://bitbucket.org/thsoft/thsoft-update/raw/master/ and verify whether the LilyPond installation you specified (/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond) works from the command line?

[thSoft]

I managed to reproduce the issue with Eclipse 2024-06, LilyPond 2.24.4 and Elysium 0.7.0. I will look into it.

[thSoft]

@dickvalentine In the meantime, as a workaround, please use a separate Eclipse installation with the old, supported version: 2020-12. Compilation starts successfully and PDFs are displayed in the Score view with working hyperlinks. However, I encountered a separate issue: #208 and #209. Which version of LilyPond did you install and how?

[thSoft]

For now, I updated the setup guide to explicitly state the only supported versions.
