Re: Lilypond newbie can't compile

Hi Manuela,

Well I think the reason newcomers use 2.18.2 is because the download page strongly asserts that this is the latest stable version.

More experienced users find the development versions very stable, of course, but newcomers don't know that.

The question that arises in my mind is why the OP is using Windows 7. :-)

Is there any particular reason why you use 2.18 and not 2.19? Don't be afraid of the term "unstable version", it works fine :-).
