Re: Handel's Messiah -- question about finding which ly file runs the whole shebang

[mrmoo]

Well, the OS X version I have of lilypond I have is version 2.14.2-1.  I used 
to use lilypond on my debian box, so I myself am more accustomed to the 
CL-based interface.  I would hope there was some way of running it that way on 
OS X (?).  I think I may have converted it to 2.14.2 just now, but I'd have to 
re-download the original and see if there was a version statement in the 
main.ly file.
