As far as I can tell fro the strange error messages you get, you
probably saved the
test.ly file to your desktop as an RTF file, and not as a plain text file.

If you've copy/pasted it from the web site into a new document, please
make sure that
you save this as a text document.

After that, please try running Lilypond again.

Hope this helps!

Re: installing on fc2 (again)

Aaah yes! Such nice a pdf with a low c.
That was it. Saving txt with StarOffice we supposed not to have 
troubles.
(...and I was already taking a look at win 2.2 version).

Thanks a lot Mats and all
Best

Hmm, it seems that your file is coded in UTF-8 Unicode, which
unfortunately cannot be handled by LilyPond yet.
If you use a text editor that saves the file using Latin1
(ISO 8859-1) character encoding, everything will work much better.

invoking midi2ly and using sustainup and sustaindown

2004-12-15 Thread Ridwan Sami
i'm kind of new at this lilypond thing and i'm having
two problems

first off, i'm not even sure if i'm doing this right
but i have lilypond installed thru cygwin on a windows
xp and i am typing into the bash shell:

$ midi2ly wee.mid

and getting

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/midi2ly", line 43, in ?
import midi
ImportError: dlopen, Win32 error 126

can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?

secondly, i have a .ly that compiles just fine to both
pdf and midi but as soon as i add in \sustaindown and
\sustainup, i get a bunch of errors in the heading
when compiling.

this is how i am doing it:

c4 c c c

is changed to

c4\sustaindown c c c\sustainup

i am running 2.2.5, and i've read this section in the
manual. can anyone help me?

thanks for your time.

From www.pedrokoeger.net/lilypond/ you need ec-fonts-mftraced, 
lilypond-snapshot and lilypond-doc-snapshot. In addition, you will need the 
following (see Depends: from 
http://www.pedrokroeger.net/lilypond/Packages.gz):

defoma, guile-1.6-libs, libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.4.1-3), 
libguile-ltdl-1, libkpathsea3 (>= 2.0.2-1), libqthreads-12, libstdc++5 (>= 
1:3.3.4-1), tetex-bin (>= 1.0.5-1), gs-common, gs-esp, python, guile-1.6 | 
guile

I believe they all exist in ubuntu universe.

Erik
