will pay for lilypond lessons in the New York City area

[Alexander De Sina]

Dear All,
 
I am a Schenkerian theorist and wanting to use lilypad for use in illustrating 
graphs. The software is touted as being perfect for this function, but it is 
nearly impossible for me to get it to do anything. Would anyone who knows how 
to use lilypond well living in the New York City area (I'm on the Upper East 
Side) be willing to personally tutor me in working with the program? I would be 
willing to pay a reasonable fee by-the-hour. Things you should know:
 
1) I run a basically brand-new Windows Vista fully-loaded laptop. 
2) I am good with standard applications on a Windows computer, but I am by no 
means acquainted with the kind of computer science typing needed to use 
lilypond. In other words, I can do everything on Microsoft Word, Excel, 
Powerpoint, fix minor problems using the Control Panel, etc, but I'm totally 
stumped by instructions on the lilypond site. They aren't too helpful and 
produce a bunch of problems that I simply can't resolve with my working 
knowledge of computers.
3) We can decide on an appropriate fee pending your specific response.
 
I hope you will consider my offer. Please respond promptly.Alexander T. De Sina
