Re: Fw: how to get lillypond to run

[Mats Bengtsson]

You say yourself that the test file worked perfectly, so you already
know how to run the program. For the next question, namely on how to
use the program, you have to realize that LilyPond is one of these
programs where you cannot expect to do anything useful without reading
the manual, at least the Tutorial part, first.

By the way, make sure that you really installed version 2.4.something
of LilyPond, the installation program seems to give you an older version
occasionally. In that case, just rerun setup.exe again.
