Re: question about installation

[Luc Dejans]

Hi - thanks for your answers, Valentin & Trevor! Sorry for my additional newbee-question: I can run the program indeed, but how do I get the windows as displayed on http://lilypond.org/web/install/getting-started.html? Till now, I just can work in a text file, convert it into Lilypond and view the result as a PDF. It would be easier to work and view instantly the result in another window.

I know all this must be basic for experienced users, but I'm just making my first steps in Lilypond...

Thanks, Luc

Greetings Luc,

don't worry, nobody's perfect :)

LilyPond does not need cygwin (anymore). Just download the Windows
version on http://lilypond.org/web/install/ (I recommend 2.11
version), and install it as you'd do with any other program.

By the way, from your name I suspect you might be French; in this case
you might be interested in knowing that there's a French-speaking
LilyPond mailing list on
