Error due to missing '-trimmed'

Error due to missing '-trimmed' in .svg file

I installed jekyll-lilypond and tried inserting some sample lilypond code into a markdown file (post), however after running bundle exec jekyll serve, I got the following error:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/jekyll-4.2.0/lib/jekyll/static_file.rb:71:in `stat': No such file or directory @ rb_file_s_stat - /Users/michael/sites/music-template/lilypond_files/fcf5de3d1b7e3729f701ea41da6b1b71-trimmed.svg (Errno::ENOENT)

It turned out that the lilypond_files directory included a file called fcf5de3d1b7e3729f701ea41da6b1b71.svg, but without the '-trimmed'.

Temporary solution/workaround:

After running rename -s '.svg' '-trimmed.svg' *.svg in the lilypond_files directory, everything worked and I could see the rendered music on the page in the browser.

However, Jekyll still gave me the following warning (I'm not quite sure why):

Conflict: The following destination is shared by multiple files.
                    The written file may end up with unexpected contents.
                    /Users/michael/sites/music-template/_site/lilypond_files/fcf5de3d1b7e3729f701ea41da6b1b71-trimmed.svg

Thanks for reporting this! Embarrassingly, it looks like I have an error in the installation instructions. The program that the plugin depends on for trimming image files is not ImageMagick, as the instructions state, but Inkscape. Can you try installing Inkscape and see if that resolves the problem? Sorry for the confusion.

No problem—and yes, this resolved the problem easily—thanks!
