I totally agree. On one hand I thank all the 10 years team for developping such a good
software including installation, on the other hand I am a bit lost with the syntax.
Look that I'm a programmer since about 25 years, and I found quite difficult to learn
lilypond syntax (I must be a very bad
Perhaps something like a tkinter little gui with some useful options to
control output format (pdf,ps), a field for input file and a __link to
the documentation__ ? (and an OK button, of course ;-)
Not a gui to control every aspects of lilypond output, but a window

Hello list,
I have noticed that the size of the pdfs produced by lily 2.7.27 on
(windows xp) is much bigger than in previous versions.
I have tested the same file unchanged with

2.7.23 Win > 44 KB
2.7.27 Win > 1.220 KB
Perhaps there is something wrong? The output looks

Please,
I have just started using Lilypond (2.4.5) on a debian sarge system
and I am getting on reasonably well with the syntax.
But, the quality of my pdf files is very poor. Notes and staff lines
etc look ugly. Probably this is a font problem, but I do not know how
to proceed.
Thanks
Joe
