Re: Creating image files with Lilypond?

[Mats Bengtsson]

To change directory from C:\dokuments and settings\jannik jeppesen to
C:\dokuments and settings\jannik jeppesen\skrivebord, do
chdir skrivebord
or
cd skrivebord

See for example
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntcmds.mspx
for more information.

Also, did you install version 2.6.4-5 from www.lilypond.org,
there have been a number of different 2.6.4-x versions over the
last weeks and I think it's only the last one that works really well.
If you just installed, it may be that you have to first logout and login
again (or possibly even reboot) to get the correct path settings.
