Re: Lilypond newbie can't compile

[Manuela Gößnitzer]

Ok I have made this experience, e.g. the grace-problem. Sometimes it seemed to me that I stumbled over every known Lilypond-bug ;-) and blamed it on me.

As a newbie you think it is your fault, that does not depend on the Lilypond-Version. On the other hand you learn much about using Lilypond.

Anyway, I think William's problem is solved now, :-)

greetings

The harm is that users assume the problem is with their code and spend a
lot of time trying to find what they have done wrong.
