Hi list,

I use lilypond 2.18 on OpenSuse Tumbleweed (the rolling distro from Suse). On that combination, displaying chord names in .pdf-form gives error messages grom ghostscript (gs) in the transition from a .ps-file to a .pdf-file. When for example the snippet from http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/notes-and-chords.nl.html is fed to lilypond, with logging set to its maximum,, the last messages are:

Generating the .ps-file goes withjout warning, but if one opens that .ps in a viewer, one does ee the triangle above  the fist bar (between the last 2 quarter notes), but no chord names.

The .pdf-file is not generated by gs.

The snippet reads as follows:

\version "2.18.2"
 
melody = \relative c' {
  \clef treble
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4

  f4 e8[ c] d4 g
  a2 ~ a
}

harmonies = \chordmode {
  c4:m f:min7 g:maj c:aug
  d2:dim b:sus
}

\score {
  <<
    \new ChordNames {
      \set chordChanges = ##t
      \harmonies
    }
    \new Staff \melody
  >>
  \layout{ }
  \midi { }
}

When I comment out the two lines in the chormode section, everything is OK.

What can be/can I do to display chord names?
