I'm doing this in two different user accounts, and the one I actually
want to use is still giving me the red box, but the other one now gives
me a message in the terminal:

/home/lconrad/bin/textedit-url.sh: 12: /home/lconrad/bin/textedit-url.sh: Bad 
substitution

and in textedit_url.log, I have:

tail -f ~/textedit_url.log
textedit:///home/newlily/music/ruffo/perfidioso/cantusnotes.ly:3:10:10

Which I assume is the kind of thing we want to see.  

I notice that the red box in the publishing user says "Operation not
supported" rather than "The specified location is not supported".

And now in this the twentieth century come these talking and playing
machines and offer again to reduce the expression of music to a
mathematical system of megaphones, wheels, cogs, disks, cylinders, and
all manner of revolving things which are as like real art as the
marble statue of Eve is like her beautiful living breathing daughters.

Under such conditions, the tide of amateurism cannot but recede until
there will be left only the mechanical device and the professional
executant. Singing will no longer be a fine accomplishment; vocal
exercises so important a factor in the curriculum of physical culture
will be out of vogue. Then what of the national throat? Will it not
weaken? What of the national chest? Will it not shrink?
