Re: using Lilypond

[address@hidden]

Hello Jud and Welcome to the wonderful pond!

I would really recommend you to download and install Frescobaldi.
http://frescobaldi.org/

Frescobaldi is an Editor/IDE for creating Lilypond files.

Lilypond take on (or multiple) text files with commands for how it 
should create the sheet music.
You can create the file in any (notepad) text editor, but as I said 
Frescobaldi will get you there much faster and easier!

Best of luck!

PS! Reading the Introductions http://lilypond.org/introduction.html will 
save you time!
