Re: new to lily pond... freezing during compiling

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please always tell what LilyPond version you are using (and on what
operating system) when sending questions to the mailing list.
The best way to troubleshoot such a problem is to run LilyPond from a
command line and look at the log printouts:
lilypond myfile.ly
or even
lilypond --verbose myfile.ly

Also, I hope you have copied the example from the version of the
documentation corresponding to your version of the program. The
templates in the manual should really work out of the box.
