Video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzXrKwOw_7Q. (it shows Windows OS but you should be able to use this on OS X as well) Hope this helps you. ----- composer | sound designer | asmr artist LilyPond Tutorials (for beginners) --> http://bit.ly/bcl-lilypond -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/export-as-image-png-tp199426p199427.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
