Reinhold, i'm keen to use orchestrallilly too, but not being a coder, i'm at a loss where to start with this. For the sake of dumb users like me, how do we actually start, run, and use orchestral liliy? I've downloaded the slides from LAC, and am still none the wiser. Is there a "cheat sheet" somewhere that walks the new user through the process of using OL? (Assuming no coding skills, or extensive knowledge of command line use) I tried a few different things, but come up with errors, which are likely to be user errors. lilypond version is 2.13.25, and i have the latest git update of OL.
