It seems that you have a very old version of Lilypond (1.2.0). The latest version officially declared stable is 1.2.17, but the latest version 1.3.80 is better in many respects. >From your mail header, I guess that you run Windows. In that case you could find a reasonably recent version at http://home.austin.rr.com/jbr/jeff/lilypond/ Anyway, whatever version of Lilypond you use, you have to use the corresponding input syntax. Since the program is still in heavy development, also the syntax is changing. I include a version of angels.ly corresponding to 1.2.0, but, again, I definitely recommend that you update your installation. > Thanks, > Fred > > P.S. Is this mail associated with a newsgroup?
