A new windows version is out - this is very close to release now, please test.

Sorry, it looks like my version is from Feb 28 as that's the time on the denemo.exe.  I don't know if this problem is fixed or not on current git.-DW

Jeremiah, I think you have mis-read the code at this point.
I have already done the fix you intended to do, that is what the

#ifndef G_OS_WIN32

is doing there in print.c at the point where you have put in a #if 0.
This is the commit I did:
Do not test for status of LilyPond on windows, as it appears not to work

I seem to have failed to put a note about this fix into this bug report - sorry. DanW is your build from a git post 17th Mar?
Jeremiah - can you revert your change please as it is removing the check for all o/s?

In the latest git I commented out the win32 status check. I saw a comment saying that this was failing to work anyway. Let me know if this fixes things. If status had the wrong value it could have exited before launching the viewer. I hope this fixes it. I would have to get gub working to try this out myself.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner to this.
My most up-to-date denemo still has this problem, but I'm not sure how long ago it's from.
This was definitely NOT a lilypond failure.  I know this because I can go to the .denemo directory, and there is a perfectly fine denemoprint.pdf that I can open and see the score as it should look.
If the problem was not in the missing ".pdf" from denemoprint when trying to open it, then I don't know what's wrong either.  But it's definitely not a problem with lilypond processing.

printf was printing the wrong information. So this is incorrect:
"Opening filename = C:\.....\.denemo\denemoprint"
I don't know where it is going wrong. You first wrote:
But denemo says that "Lilypond engraver failed..."
That means lilypond is failing not the loading of the pdf.

Have you tried taking the resulting .ly file in your .denemo dir and running lilypond on it to find out if that is the case.

Testing this with a score containing a single whole note fails just as before.

"Opening filename = C:\.....\.denemo\denemoprint"
if that is the case, ie there is no trailing .pdf then the attempt to "open" will fail on windows, where the .pdf has to be present for the file association to work.

I can test this tomorrow, probably.  (I'm away from the machine with the current denemo on it)
The score I tried was pretty simple, though, just a few notes to test the tempo with bpm syntax for lilypond 2.10.

does this happen with even the simplest of scores. That message you received was not correct. I modified the code to print out the correct information. I think it failed before this though. Can you test again with a simple one note score?

Not sure why, but now when I click print preview, Lilypond processes the score fine, and the pdf is generated properly inside .denemo directory.  But denemo says that "Lilypond engraver failed..."  and the pdf does not appear.  It must be a problem with opening the pdf reader.

The console says "Opening filename = C:\.....\.denemo\denemoprint"

Shouldn't this be "...\denemoprint.pdf"?
