Hello Anita,sorry, but I can’t quite figure out what your problem is. You say ‘not compiled’ in the subject, but actual message suggests that the output is different from what you expected. Please give us the actual code and output (as attachments) and describe the exact problem. I guess that you mean the Welcome_to_LilyPond.ly file from the 2.18.2 install? Indeed, it compiles fine and with the exact results I’d expect if I use 2.18.2; however, the \version statement says 2.16.0 and with 2.16.2 it fails, with the following log:

Welcome to LilyPond
===================
Congratulations, LilyPond has been installed successfully.
Now to take it for the first test run.
1. Save this LilyPond file on your desktop with the name "test.ly".
2. Pick it up from the desktop with your mouse pointer, drag and drop
it onto the LilyPond icon.
3. LilyPond automatically produces a PDF file from the musical scale
below.
4. To print or view the result, click on the newly produced file
called
test.pdf
5. If you see a piece of music with a scale, LilyPond is working properly.
Next, you'll want to get started on your own scores. To do this you'll
need to learn about using LilyPond.
LilyPond's interface is text-based, rather than graphical. Please visit the
help page at http://lilypond.org/introduction.html. This will
point you to a quick tutorial and extensive documentation.
Good luck with LilyPond! Happy engraving.

\version "2.16.0" % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond versions.
