I installed Cygwin w/ no problems, and ran the test file from the link on http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html
without problems (double-click on file [pause] Cygwin window appears [longer pause] Acrobat window appears with two-note score). After that, no joy! :-( I copied the first sample from the "2 Tutorial" page (inserted below) into a file (also on the desktop) named Lullaby.ly and double-clicked it. This time the Cygwin terminal window displayed error messages (inserted below). Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!! -jn- 8<----------(begin contents of Lullaby.ly)---------- %% Generated by ../../scripts/lilypond-book.py %% Options: [fragment,quote,relative=2,raggedright,indent=0\mm] #(set! toplevel-score-handler ly:parser-print-score) #(set! toplevel-music-handler (lambda (p m) (ly:parser-print-score p (ly:music-scorify m p)))) \paper { #(define dump-extents #t) linewidth = 160\mm - 2.0 * 0.4\in raggedright = ##t indent = 0\mm } \layout { } \relative c'' { % ly snippet contents follows: c-\markup { \bold \huge { Click here. } } % end ly snippet } 8<-----------(end contents of Lullaby.ly)----------- 8<----------(begin contents of console)---------- Processing C:\Documents and Settings\joel\Desktop\Lullaby.ly ...
