ly not reformatting?

[Knute Snortum]

Is anyone else having problems getting ly to reformat a document?  I have v0.9.9 installed from source and it's not working for me, or maybe it's a problem with the current version of python-ly.

I had the same problem the first time I launched Frescobaldi, then it
disappeared.
Can you reproduce it consistently?

[Knute Snortum]

I can, something as simple as:

    \version "2.24.4" \score { \new Staff \relative { c''4 c c c } }

does not format.  It can re-indent, but not format.

I haven't used it for a long time, but are you sure that it ever did
what you are expecting? I think it just removes the trailing spaces,
indent and move long comments:

It looks like, from the code, that it only "reformats"  when the line doesn't end with a } or >>.  I didn't remember that limitation, but it seems like it's been there all along.

Sorry for the noise, and thanks to those who checked this out for me.
