Hi Robert,

As I mentioned and others have said, there is no substitute for studying
the NR and the Learning Manual, in detail, exhaustively. It's a powerful
program with enormous control, unlike typical GUI programs. It's no
different to learning to play tin whistle. Nobody would expect to learn it
in a week. Because lilypond is text based, you have to fully understand the
syntax and semantics for advanced work. If you are keen, you can learn
Scheme and program functions and extensions. The documentation is
exceptionally good, given that this is open source software.

[Re the Larsen ornaments, I can't see how to integrate Scheme and Lilypond
in safe mode. Possibly impossible!]

cheerio!
Andrew
