The only problem with these tests, which are useful in themselves, is that drag & drop and double-click won't be the methods by which Fresco starts running LP. In addition, what they do do is AIUI a function of the desktop. One advantage you do have is that (also AIUI) windows only has one flavour of desktop, unlike say linux. [edited:] > 1.

Perhaps some windows users will oblige… Cheers, David. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
