To reduce the number of problems, typically simultaneous/conflicting
installs, directory names with spaces, what have you.  Using another
directory works, of course, but do not expect too much help.  That's
the idea.

What about it?  The native version is rather new, ideally both should
be described separately.

Both dragging and dropping, as well as using the second mouse button's
context menu item "generate PDF" should work.  On some windows
flavours, double clicking also works, on others that will popup the
editor.

Yes.

I don't understand.  Do you main that CVS does not match lilypond.org?

Any copyrights and trademarks are acknowledged.  We respect and note
that some products and images have one of these protections.

That's great!

Yes, but can you first check why it is so big?  You may have
untranslated files or backup files there, or forgot to run gzip.  The
sizes of the French and Dutch sites are just

    -rw-rw-r--  1 janneke staff  26K 2005-07-31 17:53 fr.tar.gz
    -rw-rw-r--  1 janneke staff  13K 2005-07-31 17:53 nl.tar.gz

You may also send it to me and han-wen personally.
