Well, I read the docs and I still am coming short: The file structure page uses the phrase: "music should be inside other expressions" I gather it means music must be inside other expressions.
then it says: "A .ly file contains any number of toplevel expressions, where a toplevel expression is one of the following" well this is vague. because if some top level elements are left out the file won't parse while if others are left out it will. the example given doesn't use a \score {} block, so I must assume that lilypond no longer requires a score block? I see a layout block has this replaced the \paper{} ? the example only has layout, but the beginning of the tutorial has a snippit that does use \paper{}. I am in the mean time still trying to make a layout with no includes and lyrics. Is this the right structure for lyrics? does it go inside the parentheis of the notes or outside? so far in either case I get junking lyrics event from lilypond... \lyricmode { the cow said moo moo } Thanks Aaron __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
