Re: Newbie problemsIf you would be willing to make suggestions about what the changes should be, we would try to incorporate them.

One really needs two different defaults for opening a .ly file: one to edit it (Lilypad, Frescobaldi etc.) and one to engrave it (Lilypond). And Microsoft, curse them, in Windows 7 and later removed the possibility for users to add menu items to the right-click on an icon. I'm told that you can still do it with a registry fix (dangerous), but that's not much consolation. Maybe the documentation could do with a bit of tweaking here? ------------------------- Sunday, April 14, 2013, 1:38:44 PM, you wrote: 2013/4/14 Peter Toye <lilyp...@ptoye.com> Just starting to try out Lilypond, and finding a few problems in getting to work at all. The OS is Windows 7, if that makes any difference. which version of lilypond? 1) Double-clicking on a .ly file gets into Wordpad, and doesn't compile the file. To compile it I have to drag-and-drop the file onto the Lilypond icon on the desktop. This doesn't seem to conform to the documentation. I think that you have to associate the .ly extension with Lilypad. BTW, I recommend using Frescobaldi instead of Lilypad: http://frescobaldi.org/download 2) Once it's compiled there's no output, just a log file without errors (see below). # -*-compilation-*- Processing `D:/Peter/Music/Lilypond/Warlock1.ly' Parsing...
