An upgrade to 1.3.7.7 gets an immediate error on the Rasp Pi: pygame 1.9.4.post1 Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html 10:10:35: Debug: ScreenToClient cannot work when toplevel window is not shown 10:10:35: Debug: ScreenToClient cannot work when toplevel window is not shown 10:10:35: Debug: ScreenToClient cannot work when toplevel window is not shown 10:10:35: Debug: ScreenToClient cannot work when toplevel window is not shown * failed to open vchiq instance Is this...

And my last update for awhile--giving a file argument at the command line activates the mouse and keyboard, and, as a real bonus, the score window works. Still gotta be sudo. Now off to do some 'real' music on my trumpet.

Okay, running as sudo gets past the ScreenToClient problem. However, the application does not respond to the mouse or keyboard at all.

Aha! I have 1.3.5 and the next line looks like yours, without the 'Internals'. I'll look at getting a more up-to-date version tomorrow. (I'm on European time here.) Thanks.

I'm having some difficulty getting access to internals, messages, etc. The doc file (top level, easyabc.sourceforge.net) says to click on 'Internals/Messages and a window labeled Messages will appear on your screen'. I can't see anything labelled 'Internals'. Is this on the main ABC screen or am I looking in completely the wrong place? Thanks again for your help.

Definitely if I want midi support I'll have to compile the midi programs. I'm more interested in using easyABC for input of sheet music scores and parts. And I'm nearly there...once I get those crazy dots to show up :-)

Another bit of information-- abcm2ps hebrides.abc -O hebrides.ps does produce a decent postscript file.

Many thanks for your help. I installed abcm2ps successfully and that got me by the [Errno 2]. abc2midi and abc2abc don't appear to be available for Rasp Pi. I get the score window now with the title, composer, time signature and most of the dynamics displayed. Key signature, fortissimo and all of the notes and the staff lines are not there! pp displays, but not ff. Curious. Looks like part of the postscript works, but not all? What else can I explore?
