I have a lilypond file which is a 4 part vocal score, 20 bars long. It runs with no visible error and prints correctly. I have tried:
1. Using OOolilypond 0.4. I inserted my file into the template "direct to lilypond", it produces lots of syntax errors. I found a minimal example: \key c \major aes the aes is an unexpected string 2. Using the pdf import extension from openoffice.org. This comes with no instructions saying how you should use it. I did file > open on my music.pdf file and set the document class to pdf . The file was read and something appeared which was clearly my score, but all of the noteheads and most of the lyrics were missing. The surviving lyrics were about 1 letter per word, and in a horrible looking font. I think this may be because openoffice cannot find the required fonts, but I dont know what fonts are needed or where to install them. On my system (Ubuntu unix 8.04) there are at least 20 directories containing font files. 3. Using lilypond-book. I took the example from Sec 4.1 of the online lilypond manual and replaced screech-boink.ly with my music.ly . Again the result was recognisable but the bars were in the wrong order and some bars were missing altogether.
