Thank you Jean for pointing me to those instructions. They are very clear. I followed them to the letter. I used plain cmd -- even in admin mode -- and edited the path to where my LilyPond 'bin' is located. I closed/re-opened cmd. I even restarted the computer. I still get the same message that lilypond-book is not recognized. I even tried using the long version:
python C:\Users\me\lilypond-2.25.8\bin\lilypond-book.py myfile.ly ...edited for my installation, of course, and got: 'H:python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jean Abou Samra" <j...@abou-samra.fr> > To: "bobroff" <bobr...@centrum.is> > Cc: "Lillypond Users Mailing List" <lilypond-user@gnu.org> > Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2023 10:19:40 PM > Subject: Re: lilypond 'not recognized' > Le jeudi 28 septembre 2023 à 22:12 +0000, bobr...@centrum.is a écrit : >> Yes!
