Hi Richard,
I have attached a
simple file.
I don’t know what you mean by saying put lilypond in the preferences but I tried just the word lilypond (should it have been lilypond-windows.exe?)
I tried both and
got a report that lilypond could not be found and that Typeset was
not possible.
There are two possible routes to lilypond on my PC
The separately downloaded Lilypond
C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe
And
C:\Users\joean\Desktop\Den21Nov\denemo\bin\lilypond-windows.exe
I have several
versions of Denemo and can change Den21Nov to one of the others,
eg Den17Nov
If I use a downloaded denemo after Nov 17 – Nov 17, 20 or 21, I cannot get the attached file to Typeset with either route
If I use October
20th's (the previous version I downloaded with none between) I
can use either string to Typeset the file, or just
lilypond-windows.exe
Summat has happened??🙁
Joe

If a File->New score does not typeset first test is to change the prefs back to just "lilypond" and see if the built-in LilyPond works. If so use File->New the File->Export->Export as LilyPond and then try to typeset the resultant file with your C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe if that works then the finger of suspicion would point to a (possibly invisible) typo in the prefs field (look in .denemo-2.5.6/denemorc for the string, copy and paste it into the command.com prompt ...) or some bug in Denemo handling windows paths (surely would have surfaced sometime in the past 20 years...).

Message: Typesetting ...Error launching lilypond! Message is Failed to execute helper program (No such file or directory) I get the same with a simple scale in the 20 Nov Download, but not with previous Oct 20th. Best wishes Joe
