What you should do first and foremost is read - the installation manual, the tutorial, and virtually everything else on http://www.lilypond.org. The fact that you tried to run the 'lilypond' command tells us that you likely did not read much. If you think your installation was successful, then you need to work through the tutorial.
If you want the people in the Lilypond User community to help, you will need to let us know: - What operating system you are using? - If a Windows operating system, how did your Cygwin install work? - Did you install all the prerequisites? Were there problems or error messages? - The version of Lilypond? - The actual command you used, and possibly snippets of the input file(s) Have fun [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > when i type lilypond --help nothing happens what should i do > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > _______________________________________________ > Lilypond-user mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user > _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
