Subject: | mac os x, lilypondtool, jedit, a puzzle |

In the interest of improving a great tool, I ask...I'm sure I'm not the only one using jEdit with LilyPondTool on Mac OS 10 (10.4.11, PPC). I've had a dialogue with Bertalan Fodor (author of LilyPondTool) concerning its use on the Mac OS. He doesn't have access to a Mac and consequently finds answering my question difficult.
So, is there anyone using the Mac version of LilyPondTool who has found a way of successfully invoking convert-ly?
The problem appears to be related to differences in how the Mac and Windows versions use Python. From what Bertalan has suggested, LilyPondTool translates "convert-ly" to "<local path to Python>/ convert-ly.py --edit <lilypond file name>".
From the jEdit Activity Log... 9:36:26 AM [notice] AWT-EventQueue-0: '/Users/ssanders/Desktop/test1.ly'9:36:26 AM [notice] AWT-EventQueue-0: command: convert-ly [Ljava.lang.String;@98ba6f 9:36:26 AM [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: java.io.IOException: / Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin//python: not found 9:36:26 AM [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: at java.lang.UNIXProcess.forkAndExec(Native Method)
The same results are observed if the .py suuffix is included on the convert-ly command.
I can invoke "lilypond --version" successfully from the jEdit Console so the path to Lilypond appears to be correct. Invoking "convert-ly -- version" (or convert-ly.py" produces an error message.
I have not found a way to communicate with the contents of / Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/ (other than lilypond itself) when using LilyPondTool.
Any solutions? Stan
