Thanks Francisco.  I'm gratified that it now works.  I originally
began using Lilypond on a FreeBSD machine in about 2002 (on version
2.2.2, iirc) and did a great deal of work on hymns and the like around
2004-5 with version 2.5.x.  But in various upgrades, my BSD machine
began not to support the various dependencies (or whatever) and I
found it easier to use my Windoze machine.  But in the presence of my
son the computer genius this past weekend, we first got java working,
then jEdit/LilypondTool, then Lilypond.  With that combination going,
I may now try working on Frescobaldi and see how that is.

Thanks to all for your help.  I love this program!

Blessings,

Gordon+
