I have not yet been able to get LilyPond to work. For even the test file, I get: parser error. braces don't match. This happens even though I have directly cut and pasted from .ly files available on your web site. I have tried numerous ways of adjusting the curly braces, but still can't get it to work. I have tried other files available from the website, but yet no success.

Here is the test file I have used:

{ c'4 e' g' }

Here is the response I get from Terminal:

lilypond test.ly
lilypond (GNU LilyPond) 2.2.5
Running lilypond-bin...
Now processing `test.ly'
Parsing...

/Users/michaelm/test.ly:1:1: error: parse error:
{
  c'4 e' g' }

/Users/michaelm/test.ly:1:9: warning: Braces don't match:
{ c'4 e'
         g' }
Failed files: test.ly


lilypond: error: LilyPond failed on input file test (exit status 1)
lilypond: warning: Running LilyPond failed. Rerun with --verbose for a trace.


Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

Michael
