RE: convert-ly problems

[Peter Gentry]

I spoke too soon.

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32>convert-ly

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32>C:\"Program Files (x86)"\LilyPond\usr\bin\python.exe C:\"Program Files (x86)"\LilyPond\usr\bin\convert-ly.py

C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\python.exe: can't open file 'C:"Program': [Errno 22] Invalid argument

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

 

This did work first time but now another wonderful windows surprise.

Thanks Knute

 

However the problem for windows (as usual) is more difficult.  In addition to the PATH I needed the following to set up the association.

First get check the associated name of the python file type.

In an admin command prompt run the following

• assoc {Python} result  “no association……”
•  
• I created one

Python="C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\python.exe" "%1"

Now I look in Default Apps and there is PYTHON

SUCCESS!

Now convert-ly.py works

 

I could have use something Lily specific as the association PYTHONLILY say maybe I will later.

 

I expect I will have to do something similar if I go back to PYTHON  proper.

 

Isn’t Windows wonderful ????
