Re: [Denemo-devel] Score refuses to preview or export

[Nils Gey]

The problem is not the command SetTuningStaff. The message is just a warning, 
probably Richard forgot to upload TypesettingOn to git. I personally get this 
message myself, too. Even if its in git, this is unrelated to a pdf which 
refuses to print.
This error message is typical for a failed lilypond. Please check the Denemo 
console: View->Console after you attempt print preview.

There are only few circumstances how this could happen. The most common (we 
have to file this as bug report) is a beginning slur on a note which has no 
end. Unfortunatly Denemo does not show the beginning slur in the display 
itself, only down in the status bar as text "begin slur".

Try to remember if you did a command which has manual ending and beginning and 
if something went "wrong" there and you had to delete notes or move them. 
Fastest way is to spot the begin XY note, delete and recreate it.

I am in IRC the whole day from now on. Please contact me there. 

Or send me the .denemo file, I will check it and repair it.
