Re: lilypond-book question

[Jonathan Kulp]

When on Windows I run these commands from the DOS prompt and it works fine. I think the problem is probably related to your $PATH.  I remember once having to set up the path so that it could find the lilypond commands, but this last time I set up a windows VM and installed Lilypond, it automatically set up the path correctly. You should search the web for instructions on how to add directories to the path. You might also just try it at a DOS prompt instead and see if it works.

 Hi all,

How am I supposed to use lilypond-book on windows?

I'm in  a cygwin csh shell. Instructions say:

>    pdflatex yourfile.tex

lilypond-book is however not a recognized command.

I then tried (after finding lilypond-book.py and some guessing)

python 'c:\program files\lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond-book.py' foo.lytex

and get:

running latex...Dissecting...lilypond-book.py: error file not found: screech-boink.ly

I can't find anything in the docs, but haven't read them cover to cover. (My miktex is fine.)

Appreciate any help,
Kees
