org-babel and lilypond broken after update

[Steven Arntson]

<I also posted this in emacs.help, then thought it might be better here.>

I'm an enthusiastic and error-prone new user of emacs (24.3.1) and
org-babel (org 8.2.7c). I've been using lilypond mode in the context of
org-mode documents, using the command "ly-tangle" to typeset music into
midi and pdf files. It's been working great for the past few weeks,
until today ...

I updated some packages through the package manager, including org and
org-plus-contrib, and now "M-x ly-" gives "[no match]" in the
minibuffer. I didn't mess with my .emacs at all, which contains these
lines:

;; ==== lilypond ====
(autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode")
(org-babel-do-load-languages
  'org-babel-load-languages
  '(
    (emacs-lisp . t)
    (sh t)
    (org t)
    (latex . t)
    (lilypond t)))

(setq ly-arrange-mode t)
(setq ly-nix-ly-path "lilypond")

I'm wondering if I put something somewhere that got clobbered when the
new versions installed in my .emacs.d/elpa folder. Or if the new version
might have a bug. Thank you, if you have any help for me!

The prefix has been changed from ly- to org-babel-lilypond- in order to
keep it in the right namespace.

With the next release these variables will go away and the corresponding
settings will become customizable.

BTW, you should not install both org and org-plus-contrib.  Use the
latter if you need something from contrib, otherwsie use just plain org,
but never both.

Thanks for this---it's like the 4th time I've been doing the same thing
in two similar ways with emacs. I guess I'm a "belt and suspenders" kind
of guy. I think I'll uninstall "org-plus-contrib" since I can't remember
why I started using it.

Thank you!

Two followup questions:

1. Now when I run "M-x org-babel-lilypond-tangle" I get

org-babel-lilypond-compile-lilyfile: Searching for program: no such file
or directory, /usr/bin/lilypond

because I installed lilypond into /usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin. I tried
"M-x customize-group lilypond RET" and "M-x describe function" but
couldn't solve the problem.

2. Since "org-babel-lilypond-tangle" is less convenient to type than
"ly-tangle" I think I should bind a key to it. I've never done
that---are there are any guidelines out there to keep newbies from
mucking things up?

Thank you very much for your help!

There's no customize interface in the version of Org you are using.
Just setq the variable org-babel-lilypond-nix-ly-path.

You don't need to since org-babel-tangle knows to call this function on
lilypond blocks and is already bound to a key:

This worked perfectly---thank you!

When I invoke "C-c C-v t" the minibuffer gives a result of "Tangled 0
code blocks from filename". I added a header of ":tangle yes" to every
code block, and then I get "Tangled 3 code blocks" but I don't get the
output of MIDI playback and PDF update that I'm accustomed to. Invoking
"M-x org-babel-lilypond-tangle" still produces that. Is there a way to
get that behavior from "C-c C-v t"?

Thank you for your help!
Best,
