They are compiled using a C++ compiler. You'll figure out that this is not exactly the same as being "C++". The Scheme parts of LilyPond bear more resemblance to Scheme than the C++ parts do to C++, so one tends to see a bit more of what the programmer was doing rather than what he was fighting. I did not work with Scheme before using LilyPond, and I have a history of C and C++ programming good enough to isolate compiler bugs. I would strongly suggest at least reading the Scheme tutorial of LilyPond's extension guide to get a bit of a hang of Scheme before indulging with the C++ parts, or you will have problems making suitable interface choices. The user-level programming interface _is_ Scheme. C++ is just the low-level implementation language. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
