\fsi b2.

Interpreting music... Preprocessing graphical objects... Finding the ideal number of pages... Fitting music on 1 page... Drawing systems... Converting to `Aint-Necessarily-So.pdf'... fatal error: failed files: "C:\Users\TOMMY_~1\AppData\Local\Temp\frescobaldi-ro92knuj\tmpi_my1xgx\Aint-Necessarily-So.ly" Exited with return code 1.

well, as you suggested it works... no more errors. I did remove the comma and re-write a bit different my code as:

fsi = #(define-music-function () ()

#{ \pad _\markup \center-column \override #'(size . 0.7) { \woodwind-diagram #'flute #'((cc . (oneF two three four)) (lh . ()) (rh . ())) } #})

pad = \once \override TextScript.padding = #4

\relative c'' { \key g \minor \numericTimeSignature \time 4/4 \fdo g8 \fre d4 \fre d8 \fsol g4 \fdo c4 \fdo c4 \fsol g4 \fsi b2. }

I tried to eliminate warnings as it suggested above but still have them:

C:/Users/TOMMY_~1/AppData/Local/Temp/frescobaldi-ro92knuj/tmpi_my1xgx/Aint-Necessarily-So.ly:107:46: warning: Unattached TextScriptEvent \fre d4 \fre d8 \fsol g4 \fdo c4 \fdo c4 \fsol g4

C:/Users/TOMMY_~1/AppData/Local/Temp/frescobaldi-ro92knuj/tmpi_my1xgx/Aint-Necessarily-So.ly:108:3: warning: Unattached TextScriptEvent

\fsi b2.

Is there a way to eliminate them?

Thanks, Tommy Tsalisher

Answer 1

The error "error: octave marks must precede duration \fre d'4 \fre d8 \fsol g4 , \fdo c4 \fdo c4 \fsol g4" is because of the comma following \fsol g4.

\fre d'4 \fre d8 \fsol g4 , \fdo c4 \fdo c4 \fsol g4

The remaining warnings can be eliminated by eliminating the scheme functions and instead defining lilypond variables such as:

fdo = \pad
      \markup {
      \center-column {
      \override #'(size . 0.7) {
      \woodwind-diagram #'flute  #'((cc . (oneF two three four five six))
                                    (lh . ())
                                    (rh . ()))}}}

This is based on an email thread in which the same warning was occurring. In particular, see Robin Bannister's enail of Mon, 17 May 2021 03:16:21 -0700.

You have two cases of the 'Unattached TextScriptEvent' warning. This sort of thing happens when LilyPond can't find the corresponding note. It may discard the TextScriptEvent, but it usually lets it drift along and settle onto the following note. warning: Unattached TextScriptEvent

orange = { ^

In the first cases your outer curly brackets are isolating the TextScriptEvent from the surroundings. Get rid of them. (emphasis mine)
