Hi "Fibonacci Prower", Well, I just tried printing it, and the bars look even worse - not only are they too thick, they also seem to be a bit too long, so that they go beyond the limits of the staff on both sides I've used Lilypond since v1.8, and I've never seen something like what you're t

First, do: lilypond -v again to see that the new installation is recognized by Ubuntu. If you get: "GNU LilyPond 2.12.1 Copyright (c) 1996--2008 by Han-Wen Nienhuys Jan Nieuwenhuizen and others. This program is free software..." Then your installation went smoothly. Make sure you: cd

You have LilyPond 2.10.33 installed on your system. To get started, have a look at 'First Steps ' from the Documentation. To compile a .pdf score from a .ly you'll have to type: lilypond filename.ly

Did you download version 2.12 from the website and install it via the shell command explained on the download page? On Linux, the installation doesn't result in any icons on the desktop. It installs the LilyPond executable (in your /home folder, unless you install it as root) and then you acce
