[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi Maxime,

Thank you for the review! I attached a new patch set. 

I reverted to Bonface's original idea of having lilypond only as a native input in the package definition.

I prefer this solution in order to solve the problem since it follows upstream's instructions of installing lilypond separately (https://abjad.github.io/first_steps/linux.html), doesn't pollute a guix user's profile with lilypond as you mentioned, and seems a bit cleaner since I don't have to touch the python sources in order to make them find the lilypond input.

If the user wants to produce a pdf then they can just include lilypond in their profile.

What do you think?

best regards,

jgart

ps

This caused me to have to add lilypond as a native-input to abjad-ext-rmakers (47816), abjad-ext-nauert (47817), and abjad-ext-ipython (47818) since those where building successfully before because they had abjad as a propagated input and abjad had lilypond as a propagated input. The above mentioned packages require lilypond for the tests.
