Sorry for the top posting. I managed to trick myself into submitting this item to lilypond-user@gnu.org, and it already had a Subject beginning with "Re:". Perhaps that explains the complete lack of response to my submission. Perhaps not.

In any case, I would like to suggest that there are only two reasonable responses to my request:

  *  resurrect the missing graphic files
  *  delete the "Guide for the Absolute Beginner"

As noted in my original submission, I am willing to regenerate the missing graphic files, but someone else with the proper knowledge and authority would have to place them in the proper place.

I am curious how the missing graphic files came to be missing without the concomitant deletion of the Guide.

Hi Patrick,

I am a relative newcomer to LilyPond. I happened upon the "Guide for
the Absolute Beginner" at http://wiki.lilynet.net/index.php/
Guide_for_the_Absolute_Beginner. While it appears to be quite a nice introduction to LilyPond, it turns out that all of the graphic images
(I haven't actually verified that they are _all_ missing, but I
haven't found any that are present) are missing.

Is it possible to resurrect these graphics?  Without them, the Guide
is mainly just frustrating.

It's possible to resurrect these graphics by calling LilyPond on the
source snippets that should still be present in that Guide, but I'm so buried under a ton of other LilyPond-related work that I can't do this
myself.  If you think that Guide is worthwhile besides what already
exists -- especially check out the section Introduction of lilypond.org
future website and the tutorial this Introduction guides to (the
tutorial are two first chapters of the Leraning Manual), then please
send your request for resurrecting graphics on that wiki page to
LilyPond users list lilypond-u...@gnu.org.

I would be willing to regenerate all of the missing graphics if someone would be able to put them in the proper place.

Why do you think they disappeared?

Regards,
Patrick
