Re: LilyPond 2.12 and emacs on Ubuntu

[David Stocker]

Peter,

Are you referring to the apostrophe (or single-quote, if you will) just 
before the 3rd opening parenthesis in the first line?

Ralph, it's worth a try. My XP init.el file doesn't contain this and it 
loads lilypond-mode with no error messages. I'm not sure if there's a 
difference between XP and Ubuntu. Lisp should be Lisp, right?

Of course, as my result in XP was the result of much trial and error, 
it's possible my success was due to something else and not the 
directions in my init.el file.
