Hello! First, I would suggest you to read the learning manual. Not with the goal of actually typesetting anything, just to actually understand how lilypond works. Second, I would suggest you use a more easily accessible tool for typesetting your scores than vim. Some are mentioned on the tutorial page of the lilypond.org website under easier editing. i realize that I haven't answered your questions, but your questions may change once you've invested the bit of time it takes to actually read (rather than search or skim) the learning manual. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
