Re: installing 2.16 and keeping 2.14?

[Phil Holmes]



Hmm.  I don't believe the current install creates an association that allows you to double click to run Lilypond.  I think you either must have done this years ago, or a very old install did it, and associated .ly files with something like c:\Program Files\lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe.

 

If you want 2.16 to be the default, rename your old lilypond directory to something like lilypond214 and install 2.16.  Then if you want to use 2.14, right click the .ly file, choose "Open with" and browse to the old version of lily.

 

Or, as Thomas says, use the command line and set your path statement to point to your lilypond .exe of choice.

Ok I can put it in a different directory (I'm pretty sure) but your 'depends' makes me leary that it's not straight forward in the  running.

At the moment all I do and have done for years is create a piece in an editor save it to a folder click on file in the folder.

If I have to do something else .... what is that?

Thanks for the start.

Depends a little on how you run it, but installing in a separate directory keeps the 2 quite separate.  I currently have 68 versions installed.

After starting a rather large, to me, flurry a bit ago...... I was going to -today- install 2.16 but due to having a large opera in 2.14 and never successfully converting I want and was told it was possible to have both.

Win7 

But I don't know how to do it..

Thanks
