I don't know about any strict rules, but it's common sense not to send too large attachments to a mailing list. On the other hand, a (small) attached image is often an excellent illustration and as you point out it is useful also in the archives. For a period during last year, the mailing list resp

2005-02-21 Thread Mats Bengtsson
You are exactly to the point when you refer to the initialization files, which (at least in the version you use) are really only necessary when you want to run lilypond-book. I don't know Gentoo, but in most other Linux distibutions, the precompiled LilyPond packages install a file /etc/profile.d/l

excited about new font feature

2005-02-21 Thread wintryblue
I'm excited about the new feature that would let me use any TrueType font. I'll have to wait until a stable release comes out for cygwin, I suppose, but it seems interesting. Although it might be an aesthetic mismatch and not exactly elegant, it seems like a good way to get graphical symbols from

Hi, I have just downloaded your LilyPond program, following the instructions for MS Windows. Testing it on the supplied test.ly unfortunately produced 2 blank pdfs. My computer runs on Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158 : Service Pack 2) I hope that you can help with this
