That worked, and I got the info files--thank you! Now I'm not sure how to get emacs to recognize them. I copied the files to /usr/share/info/lilypond, and successfully viewed a couple pages with C-u C-h i, but the whole thing isn't showing up by itself when I call C-h i, even after restarting emacs. Perhaps I should pursue this in help.emacs, but thought I'd ask here first, since I started the thread here. Thank you again for your help! _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
