Re: Lilypond not rendering PDF on Mac

Thanks everyone, here's the latest:

>I would suggest you check that you can run Lilypond in command-line mode using the “-ps” switch to generate a PostScript file

It makes a postscript file, but it looks a mess. I'm now suspecting this stage is the problem, rather than the pstopdf, because it seems to be a struggle to get the postscript file to open in anything at all. Again though, it's making SVGs from Frescobaldi fine.

>I would try running something like:
>
>$ lilypond -V --ps --pdf test.ly

This also hangs, and produces the following output. Any help would be much appreciated!

Probably you need to add the path to your lilypond and ps2pdf binaries to your $PATH.

Depending on where you installed LilyPond.app, it should be something like /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/

Add to your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.profile):

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/
