I have realised that *if* you do not have LilyPond in your 'path' (see my last email to you) and you need to add it, the instructions will be slightly different depending if you are running Windows XP or Windows 7 - as things like file names and where settings are have changed. What I would do because I forgot we had added this to our instructions on teh website is to look here http://lilypond.org/windows.html See 'Running on the command line' section. This tells you how to check and configure. I do not know your technical ability (so sorry if I am patronizing you - many of us on these lists take it for granted users know how to configure these settings in Windows) to understand how to set a PATH etc. and as I know you have a very limited internet connection so are not permanently online, can you let me know if my last response is helpful and if not which version of Windows you are using and I can give you more detailed instructions in 'one go' -- -- James _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
