LilyPond requires a plain-text file as input. In MS Word, you can Save As: plain text, but Word is really not a very good plain-text editor. A simple editor available under Windows is Notepad. There are better editors available, which provide things like syntax highlighting and shortcuts for LilyPond commands; you can download Emacs, Eclipse, or Frescobaldi (which is a LilyPond-specific GUI editor). ~Chris - -- Chris Maden, text nerd <URL: http://crism.maden.org/ > LIVE FREE: vote for Gary Johnson, Libertarian for President. <URL: http://garyjohnson2012.com/ > <URL: http://lp.org/ > GnuPG fingerprint: DB08 CF6C 2583 7F55 3BE9 A210 4A51 DBAC 5C5C 3D5E -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQdHddAAoJEEpR26xcXD1e8T0IAJTUk76WOJzfWn03V3DOX0TI 4gv55HrOYlOgMMngbKikWXh2Vgzo6BNFrkahJS3/efTTuNNO/MDcNLucXMAprQ5n lck8cGuYgkL5MYnjaXaiW/PdwPFy/46gaOPGvUN4Mu7SLnnEQNWtW4C81Qc+izks d5rPyYPCk25e+1vNtPG2X1A9uw/Lx8Wx+cNHwXfRKrUJs1VHqLX6yY3p4DrqADpr NSuFDF4fbMK8igsr0gRNTUgXnxY+qmjQg+mkeLP79FrfV81TVq4ImDSBY4JiXKhc P6qMh2AlblnLcDrkMBejiNJZ4ikhgdF305X8SgRiBU5L6LoEaYQUIlWd4x7T9N8= =pa5Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
