There is no installation required for the python file. Here is a link that describes how python programs are run under windows: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4235834/how-to-make-python-scripts-exec utable-on-windows You will want to open a command prompt window, and change the directory to the one containing jianpu-ly.py. Then you will type jianpu-ly.py <your-input-file.txt >your-lilypond-file.ly This will read the text file your-input-file.txt and convert it to a lilypond file your-lilypond-file.ly. You then run your-lilypond-file.ly through lilypond to get output. >2) where can I find snippets of jianpu notation for Lilypond? I found a >list of commands for writing jianpu, but would like some snippets also. I do not know where any snippets are. Ming Tsang may have some. >3) does jianpu work with frescobaldi? jianpu-ly.py does not work with frescobaldi. You may be able to use the Frescobaldi preferences to set one of the Helper Functions to be right for running jianpu-ly.py. The lilypond code generated by jianpu-ly.py does work with Frescobaldi. Note that there is also a way to generate jianpu directly from lilypond input, although by reading the emails I understand that it does not look as nice. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2015-04/msg01342.html This has a lilypond file that can be included in your project to create jianpu notation. it will work with Frescobaldi.
