Re: Problem running LP on win32.
You are the second person to bring up this problem, see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-10/msg00718.html Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to verify it myself, but I guess the problematic line in the error message is: programming error: cannot find absolute argv0 which tells that LilyPond isn't able to figure out where it's installed and where all necessary files are. /Mats David Picón Álvarez wrote: Hi, When I run LP on win32 I get an error.

Confusing start for newcomers on Windows
I know this has been discussed before, but I cannot find the bug in the tracker. I've just tested a fresh install of 2.11.62 in Windows XP. I know how to process an input file and to ignore lilypad editor. But the installation still makes lilypad to be launched when clicking on the LilyPond desktop icon or in the Start menu. This is what new users are going to do, undoubtedly. So, lilypad opens with a file with very outdated directions, even more, they are not true at all. - the file name is Welcome_to_LilyPond.ly but this name is lost on the save dialog when you follow the first direction Save this file on the desktop. So the user does not know that the file has to be named Welcome_to_LilyPond.ly for the next directions to have sense. So, point 1) has to be changed to Save this file on the Desktop with the name test.ly or whatever. - Accordignly, point 4) has to say the user to open the PDF named as he or she did name the input file. - The input itself has a deprecated syntax: \relative { c d e f g a b c } does not include a reference pitch as the first argument of \relative. - Then, the \version statement reads 2.10.0 which has to be changed before 2.12, say, to the current actual version for example. Thanks. I'm afraid I cannot find the source code in my tree, nor the bug in google code (if it exists) -- Francisco Vila.

I just changed the command line from lilypond.exe to lilypad.exe just to be sure that the whole commandline itself was well written (having spaces into the Program Files pathname, one never can be sure). lilypad.exe was launched correctly as expected.

Issue 698 in lilypond: Windows users should be offered a better first impression
Issue 698: Windows users should be offered a better first impression http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=698 New issue report by v.villenave: The Windows installation launches the lilypad editor when clicking on the LilyPond desktop icon or in the Start menu. This is what new users are going to do, undoubtedly. Here are some ideas to make them feel more comfortable from the first time they give LilyPond a try. == LILYPAD EDITOR == - this editor should look more specific: currently it looks too much like the Windows NotePad, and tends to make users think the file is just some kind of ReadMe. - this editor lacks some features, such as findreplace, syntax highlighting, etc. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2007-12/msg00174.html and http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2007-09/msg00322.html - This editor could be better configured: - save as UTF-8 by default - preserve the original filename when users want to save the example file (e.g. Welcome_to_LilyPond.ly); otherwise the given directions make no sense. == WELCOME.LY == - The example file should be updated: - as said above, it should say `Save this file on the Desktop with the name test.ly', and then `open test.pdf' or whatever, in a more filename-agnostic way. - the input itself has a deprecated syntax: \relative lacks a reference pitch - the \version statement still reads 2.10.0. - Ideally, the example file should be automatically generated: - the \version statement should be internally generated by a @VERSION@ variable - the example file should be localized accordingly to the user's language. Some of these ideas have been raised on the list (by Francisco, Bertalan, myself etc.) for a few years. I am willing to work on some of these features personally as soon as I have some time, but any help would be appreciated. I am willing to give a €200 bounty for the LilyPad editor improvements, and many users out there would certainly be glad to give more.

2008/10/24 Francisco Vila [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I know this has been discussed before, but I cannot find the bug in the tracker. You might be interested in having a look at the LilyPad source archive at http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/gub-sources/ I have added this as http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=698 with a personal bounty, since I think this is an important issue. (I plan to work on that as soon as I don't have an opera to finish; I have already begun to work on it last year when I built EasyLilyPond from the existing Windows installer.)
