It looks like you're using the Cygwin version, right? The installer normally seems to hang, but if you wait long enough, it should complete by itself. However, I would advise you to use the native Windows version, it's easier to install and works faster than the Cygwin version. The current version (2.5.something) works great, but you might want to wait for 2.6.0 if you're uncomfortable using a "non-stable" version. -- Patrick Hubers ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Richard- If you know anything about abc files? It's a system mostly for trad (read folk) music usually single line though it is more flexible than that.

Hi!
I just installed Lilypond with fink on my ibook G4 (10.3.9.).
When I tested dyld didn't found libkpathsea.3.4.5.dylib.
I only have libkpathsea.4.0.0.dylib so i made a link to it with this

Re: scm functions scope and arguments
Nicolas, your answer was very helpful - thanks There should not be parens alone on a line. When you read Lisp or Scheme code, parentheses are not that important, what you look at is indentation. Me coming from C/C++ and pascal, I find scheme quite hard to read actually, but I guess it's a matter of being used to it.

The LilyPond distribution does indeed contain a program called abc2ly, see the section on "Converting from other formats in the LilyPond manual.

Hello,

tried to create a file (missa.ly) to contain them all, using \include
"kyrie.ly" \include "gloria.ly" etc.
The header of missa.ly is:
\header {
title = "Missa Sine nomine"
composer = "Palestrina"

whereas the headers of the individual files are
\header

I copied this from a file my brother did with Lilypond 1.6.5, and it
worked there.
I'm using 2.5.31 on Linux, and this does not work, I do not get title,
nor composer, and I get for each movement the piece title of "Agnus Dei
II", i.e. the piece information of the very last file.
How can this be done? I did not find information about this in the
manual, either.

Re:converting abc to lily?
Mats- that's very interesting. What I can't see/find in the archives, or maybe just don't understand is how to acquire abc2ly or the midi2ly or python for that matter. Also when the instruction say invoke- I know where and how to do that in linux but am a bit uncertain as to how to go about that in XP- Does it mean that the program is already part of lily and that I need to run it from a command line?

When I recently became interested in this clearly international mailing list, I assumed that users adventurous enough to tackle the complexities of Lilypond would of necessity be flexible, certainly the sort of people who have figured out that if you want to have any hope of extracting maximal information from the Web, you'd better be able to at least read straightforward French, Spanish, Italian, German and Dutch. I see I was mistaken. I have witnessed, hundreds of times, conversations with person A speaking one language and person B replying in a different language. Encouraging such a procedure here would seem better than driving away those who are not comfortable presenting a question in English. -- Tom ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
