Thanks for getting back to me about this! I tried to follow your instructions here, but became confused due to my inexperience mucking around outside of my ~/ directory. However, since you also suggested what would have been a more straightforward solution to my original query, I uninstalled Lilypond and reinstalled again with the --documentation switch. Then I corrected the links in my /usr/share/info/dir document as you suggested, and now everything works as it should---images and all. Thank you again, Steven _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
