Re: [Denemo-devel] Denemo and Ubuntu

Hi Andreas
Terminal tells me ....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
address@hidden:~$ dpkg -l lilypond
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| 
Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-=================================
un  lilypond       <none>       <none>       (no description available)
address@hidden:~$
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I presume that this means it is not installed (or not completely?)
Should I go ahead and install it using "sudo apt-get install lilypond"?

My 'Ubuntu help' tells me I'm running Unity. I think this is a desktop 
environment?
Are either Rhythmbox or Soundblaster sound servers? I have both of these 
and use them. My sound settings are set to 'play sound through' 
Soundblaster.
I also use Pulse Audio control.
