Thanks for the post--the error is the reason why fomus tries to detect the lilypond version, the "def-music-function" changed a few times from version to version (I think now it's "define-music-function"). I'll make this user-settable (I'll try to update this by tomorrow).
Also, I think the reason why it can't get the version number is because it can't find the lilypond executable--I haven't tested it w/ OSX/lilypond 2.8 yet, so something might have changed, I'll have to look at this too. There's a setting ("LILYPOND-EXE") for specifying the path to the lilypond executable so you can override fomus's default. I think this should fix the problem until I get the next update out. Let me know if you run across any other issues.

Hi all...
I was looking around to see if there was a more appropriate place to post a questions / problem. If this is the wrong list, I apologize and would appreciate a re-direct. If not, here is the problem I am having.
Here is a sample head of a .ly file...
% LilyPond score file % FOMUS v0.1.66
\version "2.6" octUp = #(set-octavation 1) octReset = #(set-octavation 0) octDown = #(set-octavation -1) markAccIn = \once \override TextScript #'script-priority = #-100 beamL = #(def-music-function (par loc num) (number?) #{\set stemLeftBeamCount = #$num #}) beamR = #(def-music-function (par loc num) (number?) #{\set stemRightBeamCount = #$num #}) beamLR = #(def-music-function (par loc numl numr) (number? number?) # {\set stemLeftBeamCount = #$numl \set stemRightBeamCount = #$numr #}) textSpan = #(def-music-function (par loc dir str) (number? string?) # {\override TextSpanner #'direction = #$dir \override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #(cons $str "") #}) noteHead = #(def-music-function (par loc sty) (symbol?) #{\once \override NoteHead #'style = #$sty #})
....
In LilyPond, I get an error:
Parsing...ERROR: Unbound variable: def-music-function
I am starting out with both LilyPond and FOMUS... any suggestions on how to get rid of the error, or solve it either on the FOMUS or LilyPond side?
Second, is there a variable on the lisp side to change the LilyPond version number? FOMUS can't detect my OSX .app version (2.8)... I'm hand changing it for now, and that seems to be fine, but it would be nice if this is something I can change in the .fomus file.
Also, for simple tests, I can delete the beamL (etc.) definitions and the code will compile, but once those vars are used in the .ly file, there are (of course) problems.
Thanks for any help.
