Heh, I added both of those to the cg-giraffe that I uploaded a bit before 5pm. :) > On http://lilypond.org/~graham/cg-doggy/using-lily_002dgit.html we have: > > " Simply type (or copy&paste): > cd > wish lily-git.tcl" > What's the point of the cd? It makes sure that you're in the home directory. If you open a terminal, you should be there anyway, but I figured there was no harm in adding the cd as well. > "Navigate to the 'lilypond-git/' directory to view the source files.
