Hi,
I have already faced this issue from my termux and I got the solution from
my system when I raised this concern over the blackbox, and I got the
solution from there.
I hope you will find the same way.
Regards
Farmaan

I successfully installed Lilypond music notation software using Termux on

the file.
Here's the error message I received (I highlighted the error message I'm
trying to understand):

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue, or where can I seek
help?
Thanks so much!

Same error from Guile re: LATIN1. Gemini AI suggested exports (language settings) but it did not work. What was your solution? |

I have same problem and have not found solution. Is the Scheme code in init.ly incorrect? Or is there something missing that causes LATIN1 to not be found? I tried converting the ly file to utf8 using iconv and vi, but always get same error from Guile. |

I saw online a suggestion to put this at top of my lilypond file:
%!unicorn
Now I don't get the error about latin!
But I don't see any pdf either...

Didn't work for me. %!unicorn looks like a lilypond comment. Long convo with Gemini ends with "let's see what github comments say" |

Sorry, meant #!unicorn
True it is comment, which I believe guile uses, and the latin1 error was a
guile error

I believe another form of comment may work...
Try
%!unicode

unicode and unicorn are a horse of a different color or horn. %!unicode at the top line causes no mention of not understanding by Guile or lilypond. |

The outcome is still ending with LATIN1
NO JOY
