Installation (with Mac OS)

[Tubicen]

Hello,
I try to install OOoLilypond, but the button Oly doesn't appear. I can launch it in "Tools", "Adds-On", when "OOoLilypond". But a windows display (immediately after) :

"Erreur d'execution du BASIC
Une exception s'est produite,
Type : com.sun.star.ucb.NameClashException
Message : folder exists and overwrite forbidden"

I tried to re-install with the instruction on Scores of Beauty, but the installation doesn't work as it should.
I work on MacOS Sierra.
If you know why it doesn't work, please help me.

Salut Tubicen,

I'm afraid, I cannot be much of help.

The problem with the missing OLy button has been fixed by a user on extensions.libreoffice.org and I've created a new release 0.5.7 that integrates his solution:
https://github.com/openlilylib/LO-ly/releases/tag/0.5.7

Unfortunately, I have absolutely no knowledge about MacOS.

I know that there recently has been a discussion on facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/gnulilypond/permalink/10156008805633529/
and a related topic on the international LY mailing list:
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Compiling-to-PNG-on-MacOSX-td209378.html

There are also 3 threads on the french LY mailing list that cover Mac-related questions:

Maybe this is where you will find people who can understand your issue and help to find a solution.
If there is anything I can include into a following OLy Release, I will gladly do so. But I'm not able to help on Mac-related topics on my own.
Je suis vraiment désolé...

Cheers,
Klaus Blum
