ok, that works (with an added " at the end).

anyone? i should learn to do lyrics anyway, will try doing it with
that.

had to change that to \stringnum, or else tex dies, saying:
! LaTeX Error: Command \string already defined.

i just get an empty circle, and it's above the note, but shoved quite
a bit to the left of it.

yes, that's what i did; i just didn't think i should have to. if i
forget the order in which i have to enter the notes at some point, the
fingering will be all screwed up.

lily dies on this with:
./lagrima.ly:119:22: error: parse error, expecting `'='':
stem_length = 7mm;

nope. still sounds like a piano. "violin", "french horn",
"clarinet", etc. (all the stuff you see in the coriolan examples)
work, but not "guitar". where does a person get a list of midi
instrument names lilypond will accept, and the instruments to which
they correspond? (eg., if "guitar" worked, would it cause the
acoustic guitar sound (instrument 26) to be used, or the nylon string
guitar that i'm looking for (instrument 25)).

ok, found it, even managed to make a dvi file from it. :) i'm
leaving tomorrow for a week in west virginia; will take it with me to
read, and maybe i'll actually know something by the time i get back.
