Hi, all:

My objective is to use .abc text file with Chinese character lyrics as input so 
that I can obtain music sheet with Chinese lyrics printed / displayed. I search 
the internet, theere is a chinese.tcl a TCL script. I do not know TCL.  I read 
from Lilypond web page that it is able to to display / print Chinese lyrics.  

Thank you Tim and Mats.  This will become a long learning process for me.

Thanks,
Ming.

Still,  a  normal  installation  on  Windows  leaves  an  icon  on  the  
desktop. 
Also,  if  you
open  a  command  prompt  and  run  the  command
lilypond-windows  -dgui
then  you  should  see  the  same  thing  as  normally  happens  when  you 
double-click  on  the
LilyPond  icon,  namely  that  the  very  primitive  text  editor  "LilyPad"  
is 
opened  with  a
simple  test  example  file.

No  matter  if  you  follow  Tim's  advice  or  use  your  existing  solution, 
don't  expect  to  be  able
to  do  anything  useful  with  the  program  until  you  have  read  the  
Tutorial 
(i  actually  recommend
you  to  click  on  the  Documentation  link  for  version  2.11  even  if  you 
 have 
installed  version  2.10
and  click  on  the  "Learning  Manual"  there,  since  it's  been  more  or  
less 
completely  rewritten  and
improved  compared  to  the  documentation  for  version  2.10).
