Hello all,
I've had a problem I can't figure out. When I export an SVG from Lilypond, and try to import it to Libreoffice or Scribus, it's blank. Breaking it down, it works like this:
- The problem occurs whether I create the Lilypond SVG from Frescobaldi, or from the command line.
- The SVG opens just fine in Inkscape. I can edit it, and I can export it as a PDF for use in LaTeX.
- The problem occurs whether I save it as an Inkscape SVG, save it as a plain SVG, or skip Inkscape altogether and go straight from Lilypond to something else.
- If I try to insert the SVG in Libreoffice Writer, insert it in Scribus, or open it with an image viewer, the "image" is the right size, but has no content. It's just a transparent space.
- So Inkscape can open the SVG, but nothing else can. I simply can't insert an SVG from Lilypond into LO or Scribus. I can do so with other SVGs, without difficulty.
I've had the problem for quite some time, with different installations of different Linux distros.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help!
