Just starting to try out Lilypond, and finding a few problems in
getting
to work at all.
The OS is Windows 7, if that makes any difference.
which version of lilypond?
The latest download. 2.16.2 I think.
1) Double-clicking on a .ly file gets into Wordpad, and doesn't
compile
the file. To compile it I have to drag-and-drop the file onto the
Lilypond
icon on the desktop. This doesn't seem to conform to the
documentation.
I think that you have to associate the .ly extension with Lilypad.
That would seem to be the case. It's the sort of thing I'd expect the
installation routine to do automatically.
BTW, I recommend using Frescobaldi instead of Lilypad:
http://frescobaldi.org/download
Is this the right place to be recommending a rival product? I'll have a look.
Thanks.
2) Once it's compiled there's no output, just a log file without
errors
(see below).
# -*-compilation-*-
Processing `D:/Peter/Music/Lilypond/Warlock1.ly'

can you see a pdf file here?
D:/Peter/Music/Lilypond/Warlock1.pdf
If "Drawing systems" really is the end of the output there's something wrong.
No, there's no PDF file. If there were, I wouldn't have commented!
Could you post your file?
Urs
see below. Nothing (I hope) too complex, until I get over the learning curve.
