I was looking at the page: http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html
and am unclear as to what I should do. How can http://cygwin.com/setup.exe know about lilypond? I already use cygwin, in fact I have two cygwin trees, one on c: and another on d: (and I have no clue which I am really using.) Do I still install by downloading cygwin.exe? By just running one of the setup.exe's I already have? Or with cygwin already installed, is there some other method I should use to install lilypond? Also, does lilypond uninstall easily (like by rm -rf myLilypondDirectory) or do I have to fiddle with the Windows registry? Or is there a good uninstall facility? I am concerned about this because my disk drives are getting full and windows install/uninstall has never seemed very robust to me. Finally, perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree. I have been using the "scot" (SCOre Translator) program to create .sco files (notelists) for CSound. Unfortunately, I am a Bach fan, and while I can deal with alto clef as well as treble and bass, I have an enormous error rate trying to read the others. So I thought if I translate the scot notation into lilypond notation, I could print out a score of what I thought I entered, in order to proofread it. (I am not a good enough musician to"proofhear" it, especially with weird clefs.) Since Lilypond appears to be a tool to print music beautifully, and since I don't need beauty, just weird clefs, do you know of some more lightweight package I should be using? Or does lilypond itself perform reasonably well (under windows) once I configure stuff properly? (I think Lilypond notation is pretty reasonable, and basing it on Scheme appeals to me since I fiddle with emacs lisp. From what else I've seen on the net, I think it would be nice if lilypond notation became a de facto standard, since what is out there now seems pretty confusing.) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
