Could you walk me through some troubleshooting steps? I downloaded and installed Fink to my iBook PowerPC G3 running OS X 10.3.7; then used FinkCommander v. 0.5.3 to install Lilypond binary 2.2.5.
Interesting. I don't think that this is the problem, but you may want to use Fink unstable so that you can install lilypond 2.4.2.
I created a test file in a text editor, as instructed. Then, in Darwin, entered the command:
which text editor? And are you certain that it saved the file as "test.ly" and not "test.ly.txt" or something like that?
Finally, do you have any unix experience? If so, you can check the exact filename at the shell. Launch terminal, then (assuming you saved your test file in your home directory) ls
(you should see a "test.ly" file. Now try)
lilypond test.ly
One other possible problem is that some simple syntax changed between 2.2.5 and 2.4.0. For 2.4, you can do
{ c'4 }
but for 2.2.5, you need something like
\score{ \notes{ c'4 }}Cheers, - Graham
