Indeed, i used to run lilybuntu live instead of installing it and then
running it from (virtual) hard drive - thanks, Phil!
Now i installed it and ran from hd. I had problems with guest
additions: clicking "install guest additions" from "devices" menu
apparently didn't do anything (tutorials on the web suggest that a
wizard should appear but it didn't). Surprisingly when i restarted
VirtualBox VBOXADDITIONS_ appeared out of nowhere. Is this behaviour
expected?
Nevertheless, now i can take advantage of 1920x1080 resolution. Looks
great! 2 hours of work had paid for themselves.

Oops, i didn't want to sound like that... Sorry.

Isn't that obvious? Along with the fact that i'd prefer to work on the
issues that bother me the most, no matter their difficulty?
:-)
Well, maybe i'll manage to resist the temptation.

I don't know. Maybe i'll just get familiar with things.

Yeah, i've read it already.
Do you think i should read
http://lilypond.org/web/images/thesis-erik-sandberg.pdf?

I'll probably try both. At least at some { c } score.

Thanks for help.
Good ...morning? (it's 3 am here in Poland)
