I cannot imagine that emacs (perhaps emacs mule) does not
do hebrew. Try asking google.

I have the OS X lilypond .26 binary, and I've used it a little. It
works great, but once again, fonts are causing problems.
The main serif font does not display in PS/PDFs made with the binary.
Instead, I get a sans-serif font display; it looks like Gill Sans or
something. Whatever it is, it's
Hi all
after try gvim for hebrew I installed gedit and see it
types hebrew out-of-the-box.
I thinks that if it had some of the power of emacs/vim
for lilypond I would switch to it.
I googled and found that gedit uses a gtksourceview
language-specs file for its support of diffferent

Dear Jan,
Finally, there is a native port for Windows!

Other ones are available, but only Verdana is used
And yet, the docs (PDF user manual) shows other fonts (while there is no
apparent special commands specified)

Hi
When I was first learning lilypond I found most things
confusing. After all I was coming from Finale.
I also am a html/sgml docbook person and found the
structure of lilypond confusing. But that was then,
now it appears things have changed for the good,
better docs, more logical structure, etc.
Hi Luis --
I don't think ec-fonts is part of this problem. Looks like you are
crashing while Metafont is trying to generate a feta font -- that
shouldn't involve ec-fonts at all. What is happening is that not only is
Metafont failing, but it is not even generating a log. Do you get clean
results f

Thanks Daniel.
My current version of tetex is 2.0.2 indeed. I will try however upgrading it
to 3.0 to see if this solves my problem.
I am wondering though if my trouble could be related to the ec-fonts

I gather it means music must be inside other

I think we use "should be" and "must" fairly interchangeably.
Been investigating instructions for specifying crescendos and decrescendos
in version 2.4.3. For several things, either: a) I don't understand, b) the
documentation needs enhancement, and/or c) implementation should be changed.

What version of teTeX are you using? If it's really ancient you might
want to upgrade. (Metafont is part of the teTeX package, which is
required for building Lilypond.) The current stable version of teTeX
3.0, but most Linux distributions are shipping 2.0.2 (which is still
good enough).

Aaron,
If you are using Linux then gedit works great in combination with the
keyboard switcher applet. It helps if you can either touch type Hebrew
or have a Hebrew key caps.

Hello folks,
In a section of a piano piece, two polyphonic measures in the bass
stanza are tied together, with one "voice" requiring rests initially in
the first measure. The code I've used to do this is as follows:

The file structure did it. I can't believe how much
lilypond has changed structurally.
I am so used to the old documentation I just didn't
know where to look.
great job.

I am most impressed I can now output hebrew with

wow, it works out of the box with hebrew.
I am excited! thanks.

Those should answer your questions. If not, let us know.
