Re: [Denemo-devel] Release 0.8.16 - Gub Status

[Richard Shann]

OK I have set all these up and checked the code into git.
One incomplete feature is that the  GUILE_LOAD_PATH is over-written, as
we have to be sure that the denemo scm files are in it. But this would
mean that we would get the newer lilypond scm files if someone had
already set GUILE_LOAD_PATH to an older installation of lilypond and
wished to use it.
LilyPond failing to run until Denemo exits would make sense if Denemo
still had the .ly file open, as windows does file locking (I think). But
why this should show now I can't imagine.
A useful test would be to install LilyPond system wide as well as inside
Denemo and see if the same holds.
