Re: can't open .ly file

[Themis Matsoukas]

Well..., no, I forgot about convert-ly. However, I cannot find it on 
the menu and when I invoke it the terminal, I receive tcsh: convert-ly: 
Command not found. This confuses me because I thought that convert-ly 
is installed along with lilypond. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Themis
