Anyone else having problems getting Lilypond->Engrave to work on Windows 10?

[mat...@yak.org]

I've tried Frescobaldi 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 and in neither one does a valid score let me engrave with a simple control-M (or selecting Lilypond-:>Engrave (Preview) from the menu) after the first time it works.  I have to go to Engrave (custom) even if I leave it default to do a preview engrave, then it works.

This means that the auto-engrave and such don't work right either, which makes Frescobaldi less pleasant to use for me.

Is anyone else having this issue?

I'm not sure I understand.  I press Ctrl-M in Frescobaldi and it engraves just fine.  What are the exact steps you do that cause the problem?

This is what I do to trigger the "control-M doesn't engrave" problem:

* Install Frescobaldi 3.1.2.

* Create a document in Frescobaldi like the following:

\version "2.20.0"

\relative c' {
    c4 d4 e4 f4 g4 a4 b4 c4 d4
}

(I've tried with 2.18.2, the installed default, as well, changing the above \version)

* Save it as "testing.ly"

* Type control-M.  Nothing happens.

* Type shift-control-M.  THe dialog comes up to choose custom engrave options.

* Click on "Run Lilypond".  Now Lilypond runs, I see progress in the log pane that pops up under the log pane.  The results show up in the viewer.

When typing control-M. I never see activity in a log pane.  The log pane never pops up at all until I do a shift-control-M and select "Run Lilypond".  After the log pane is visible after doing this, it doesn't show activity when I afterwards type control-M.

Selecting "Engrave (preview)" from the Lilypond menu with the mouse behaves the same as typing control-M.

It's not too bad to have an extra keystroke to engrave with the custom engrave popup (control-shift-M then enter) but the auto-engraver is attached to whatever happens when you type control-M, so that doesn't work for me.  I like using the auto-engraver ("Automatic Engrave" checked on the LilyPond menu).

I've done some 25-30 intermediate complexity scores with different versions of Lilypond and different versions of Frescobaldi, so I'm reasonably familiar with Frescobaldi, and I think I'm right to expect that control-M engrave the current, saved Lilypond document, that compiles without errors when I do "Engrave (custom)" with shift-control-M.

Uninstalling Frescobaldi 3.1.2 and reinstalling Frescobaldi 3.0, control-M works to engrave, and "Automatic Engrave" works.

All I can say is it works for me in Windows and Linux.
