The learning manual explains how lilypond works, how to find the answers to questions you may not even have, and even tips on how to input files so that as you learn more about lilypond you can still use some of your first scores. Granted, at a certain point, you have to know to look for something in the Notation reference because it's not covered in the learning manual, but the learning manual usually has a reference that there's more information in the notation reference, or you at least have a vague idea of what to look for in the notation reference. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

This is my first big scoring with lilypond and it is at times a bit overwhelming. yes, it may be at first, but as you keep getting used to it you'll surely find that the reward compensates the effort :) greetings, Vicente ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I've been in the notation reference all day and from there I got the snippet for rehearsal marks which I bastardized. That's what this clueless soul did before finally asking for help. > > my personal experience is that the most productive thing I've done > in Lilypond is learning to search in the documentation :) Yes, searching is important and I have been doing that all day.
