As a start you can use the simplest editor: nano guix shell lilypond nano -- nano test.ly Just edit the file there, then press CTRL-o to save and CTRL-x to exit nano. for starters: # get a shell with the required programs guix shell lilypond nano mercurial timidity++ hg clone https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/draketos-songbook cd draketos-songbook # edit the file nano delfini-tune.ly # create pdf and midi lilypond delfini-tune.ly # see the output evince delfini-tune.pdf # listen to it timidity delfini-tune.midi (that example is a song I set for my kids, so don’t expect anything fancy) Best wishes, Arne -- Unpolitisch sein heißt politisch sein, ohne es zu merken. draketo.de
