Having set privately several music books for a music-therapy school in
Berlin, I have just published (for the first time officially) a book of
65 violin studies for a client.

I found a lilypond script on a programmer's website. It shall print
piano keys. But this gives only errors when I compile it with lilypond.
Would it be really possible to achieve what is requested or is it just a
