Hi, I'm copying the instructions given at the web page, my coments in [[ ]] :
Testing LilyPond
Open a terminal window (Windows users: double click the "Cygwin" icon), and type
lilypond --help [[OK]]
in your window. You should see something similar to
GNU LilyPond 1.8.0
Usage: lilypond [OPTION]... FILE...
Typeset music and or play MIDI from FILE
LilyPond is a music typesetter. It produces beautiful sheet music
using a high level description file as input. LilyPond is part of
the GNU Project.
Options:
-h,--help this help
[..]
If you see this, you have the program installed, and you can run it. [[OK]]
Open test.ly in your favorite text editor (Windows users: run notepad test.ly).
[[Open it, but where is that file?. Run notepad, and save as test.ly? in which directory]]
Enter
\score { \notes { c4-( c4-) } }
Save file and exit.
Run
ly2dvi -p test [[On he command window I guess]]
If everything works well, it should say
DVI output `test.dvi'...
PS output to `test.ps'...
PDF output to `test.pdf'...
View the PDF file. Try these commands
ggv test.pdf
gv test.pdf
kgv test.pdf
acroread test.pdf
ghostview test.pdf
Windows users: go to folder C: -> CYGWIN -> HOME -> your-user-name, and double click test.pdf.
[[Sorry I haven't been able to initialize Lilypond yet]]
Cheers,
Felipe Copaja
