no Chords anymore after upgrade to LO6 (in Ubuntu 18.04 32-bit) #21
Comments
It looks like your system is missing the font "TexGyreHeros". This is the standard SansSerif font used by recent LilyPond versions. What graphics file format do you use in OLy? A more detailed explanation can be found here: Does that help? Cheers, |
Hello Klaus, thanks for your reply The graphics file format I choose .png I've put TexGyreHeros but also CentureySChoolBook fonts in the /usr/share/fonts directory and refreshed. (I found that one in /usr/share/lilypond/2.18.2/fonts/otf I adapted my default template with the paragraph added in the \paper{} Nothing changes: chords still come out scrambled .... I guess downgrading to |
Hi tomvdyck, I don't think that downgrading would help. LO has nothing to do with the rendering of the sheet music. Did you already try if it works to compile a score with chord symbols direcly with LilyPond, without the use of LO and OLy? Using OLy with png file format should give you the same results as pdf files created by LilyPond. AFAIK Ly 2.18.2 doesn't request a specific SansSerif font but uses the system's default one. Maybe your font configuration has changed when you installed LO6. Unfortunately, I have no experience with font handling in Linux. Upgrading LilyPond to a recent 2.19 version could help as well, because the new versions provide their own fonts for all font families instead of relying on system settings. Cheers, |
Hallo Klaus, I will try with Lilypond 2.19 and keep you posted ... |
Really strange...
Did you use the "Open as temp. file in ext. editor" button in the OLy window?
This will open exactly the same LY code in Frescobaldi. If it compiles fine like this, the question is what Frescobaldi handles in a different way:
1.) Do you have multiple LY versions installed? (In Windows, that's easy. I'm not sure about Linux.)
You could compare the log output in Frescobaldi (bottom left) and OLy ("Ly Output" button).
2.) Both Frescobaldi and OLy let you specify include paths. Are there any differences?
3.) Frescobaldi lets you launch customized commands by pressing [Shift]-[Ctrl]-[M].
The command composed by OLy should be equivalent to the following line:
$lilypond -dno-point-and-click $include -dno-delete-intermediate-files --png -dbackend=eps -dresolution=300 ooolilypond.ly > ooolilypond.out 2>&1
Maybe it helps to compare those commands or to experiment with them.
These are the only differences that came to my mind so far... I still hope this helps somehow.
Cheers,
Klaus

Hallo Klaus What I can tell is I have another computer with Linux Mint 18.2 (Ubuntu Xenial) en LO5. Both versions of the plugin (0.4 en 0.5.6) function properly on that one. Without any fuzzling with configs & fonts ... . Something must be wrong either with LO6 or with Ubuntu 18.04 (Ubuntu Bionic) ... But I'm not smart enough to solve that puzzle and can't find anything about this specific issue on forums yet. |
I can't comment on that issue itself, but I want to reassure you that using 2.19 will not break your day-to-day work. The main part of labeling it "unstable" is that you should consider new features or syntax as up for review (where convert-ly should get you out of trouble). OTOH 2.19 is really advanced compared to 2.18 so I wouldn't even consider using 2.18 if it weren't for external reasons (e.g. a client's request). |
Hi tomvdyck, yet another idea: 1.) Open a new Writer document 2.) Click the OLy button to insert a new object 3.) In OLy, click the "config" button, select SVG format and click the "OK" button 4.) Back in OLy, select the "Piano [SVG]" template 5.) Replace the default code in the editor pane with the following lines:
6.) Click the "LilyPond" button to compile 7.) Save the Writer document and attach it here in a comment. The resulting SVG graphic might help to see what fonts are used. Cheers, |
Hello Klaus: All the best, thanks! |

Lilypond version 2.18.2
I have used this extension for years, to create documents with music examples. I've often had chords on top of the melodies. In this version of LO, some symbols show up but none of them chords actually.
Below a piece of code I'v copied from an existing document as an example.
