Cannot get Anki 2.1 lilypond add-on to work

[erelkiemis]

I installed the lilypond add-on. I tried to display a card with Anki 2.1.15 and got a bug report. So I updated to Anki 2.1.22, and now lilypond code won’t compile at all – I get the text to show as entered.

I’m on a Win 10 Desktop PC. Lilypond is in my path. Anki 2.0 version of this add-on worked just fine.

Here’s what Anki 2.1.15 said when trying to display lilypond:

Sorry, I no longer maintain this (or any other) anki addon, since I don't really use anki anymore. See also #6

The 2.1 version of lilypond addon is not uploaded by me. Maybe you can leave some feedback on their addon page directly.

Thank you for this information. On the Anki add-on page I was forwarded to this github site.
