RE: Special characters in path using lilypond-book with Texshop engine

Correction: I apologize to Nicola for the first, incomplete message — I sent 
the message instead of adding the attachments, sorry!

Hi,

thanks to all who are working on this.

I upgraded to  TeXShop 3.07 and Lilypond 2.15.38-1, which both should work for 
Lion.
Lilypond 2.14 continued working like a charm (for the limited use I had) that 
it never occurred to me to check about the Lion compatibility. I should have 
checked that…

However, after upgrading both TeXShop and Lilypond the result is still the same 
on my side.

As Nicola suggested, I changed the verbose and debug settings in the 
lilypond-book engine

I attached two files with the output: one file contains the output for the file 
that compiles with no special characters in the path, the other one the aborted 
compilation.

Thanks Nicola for telling me that the file extension (.pdf) does not need to be 
in the  *-systems.tex files and yes, there is still a full path in these files.

I hope that this will help you to understand what's going on.


Cheers!
