#71 convert-ly no longer works from menu/toolbar

I downloaded and unzipped lilypondtool-2.14.20111117.zip over the top of the previous version of Lilypondtool in my .jedit folder. The one thing that doesn't work for me with this preview version is to run convert-ly from the toolbar or menu. When I do that, nothing happens (no console window appears) and the version number in the ly file doesn't update. The plugin options (path to lilypond binaries, convert-ly command, etc) are correctly set and the same as they were in the previous version, where this worked. convert-ly runs from the command line without any problem.

Jedit is v4.4.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 with current Sun Java.

Thank you for the report.
Could you please try the following workaround:
- Open a(n old) .ly file
- Press the convert-ly button (nothing happens)
- Press Ctrl+S (ie. save the file)
-- I expect here that convert-ly runs upon saving.

The previous idea might be totally wrong.
Does your input file have a \version tag?

I tried that. When I press Ctrl+S, after pressing the convert-ly button, it runs lilypond against the file, rather than convert-ly. I slso notice that when I press the convert-ly button, some red text saying "1 error(s)" appears in the status bar at the bottom of the jedit window. And yes, the input file has a \version tag. I have uploaded the jedit activity.log file from trying what you suggested to http://www.users.on.net/~njpayne/music/. I tried to upload it here but the upload process kept hanging at 35%...

Hey, you found an interesting problem.
Your input file cannot be parsed by the internal 2.14 parser, so it doesn't recognise the \version tag. I will fix this.
Can you send me this test2.ly? To make sure that if it is 2.14 the parser works on it.

I've uploaded test2.ly to http://www.users.on.net/~njpayne/music/. The version of lilypond I have installed is 2.15.19.

Thanks, it seems that the rightHandFinger function doesn't parse correctly. I'm looking into it.
