Bug 759373 – media-sound/lilypond unstable version

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Lars Henrik Ørn 2020-12-10 17:49:42 UTC]

Hi

The current version of lilypond is a development version (2.21.x). Stable is currently 2.20. In a few weeks 2.22 will be released.

I suggest to keep track with stable versions as stable and development versions as unstable (all though they mostly works ass expected)

Have nice day

iirc we stabilized the development version instead of the stable one as the stable one had unresolved issues that the development version has resolved. though, there are still some open issues in this bugtracker for the version we have.

Hi

Thank you. You are aware of the problem and have a good explanation of why it is so.

So please close this bug ;-)

Have a nice day

Hi

Have investigated a bit. When compiled with use=pulseaudio everything works as expected with pulseaudio as frontend. But still no alsa. The bug is most probably in qt. There is a fairly recent report of pure alsa not working (qt-alsa works when you change permissions for qt-pulseaudio so it cant be loaded). This is maybe also one reason why debian has not updates to a more recent version, but stays with musescore-3.2.3.

But it will be quite a work to let musescore compile without qt ;-) And I have decided to try setting up my audio workstation with pulseaudio as useflag. Lest see how it goes (so far OK).

Have an ice day

Lars, i suppose you wanted to edit a musescore bug and not this one :-)

You are right. My mistake and a apology ;-)
