It uses text files to produce PDFs, thanks to a specific syntax. You can learn this in the introductive crash course : http://lilypond.org/switch/howto and more in the Learning Manual : http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/index To check LilyPond is installed on your computer, open your terminal and type lilypond and then If LilyPond is installed, then you should see something like "LilyPond 2.12.3..." If it is not "cannot find a command named lilypond". I would also suggest you to use a dedicated LilyPond text editor, such as jEdit + the feature-rich plugin LilyPondTool : http://www.jedit.org/ http://lilypondtool.organum.hu/ or the very nice Frescobaldi (built on top of the KDE4 libraries) : http://www.frescobaldi.org/ which both permit to see the text file and result in the same time, thanks to a built-in PDF viewer (and other "making things easier" features). As you seem to speak German, you may be interested by the "Deutsches Lilypond Forum", where you can ask your questions in German (and obtain answers in German as well). http://www.lilypondforum.de/ Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer ___ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond

Lilypond is not an application, it is a compiler. You need to call it from the command line _after_ preparing your source file. You'll find the details in the lilypond documentation that need to get installed separately as "lilypond-doc" and will likely unpack into /usr/share/doc/lilypond-doc where you can browse through them with your browser. -- David Kastrup ___ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond

As far as i understood --- you've downloaded lilypond binary and can not find downloaded file? If so, try to use search feature of your desktop manager. As a last resort --- try to right-click on link to lilypond binary and choose "Save link target as..." in popup menu. Then choose appropriate location to save in. Please excuse me if i misunderstood your question. If so, please clarify it in lilypond-user mailing list. Surely, the best place to get help regarding lilypond --- lilypond-user mailing list (http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user), please ask any questions there. This list (bug-lilypond) is for other purposes. Thank you! -- Dmytro O. Redchuk Bug Squad ___ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
I don't find lilypond in my computer
Hi! I installed "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" two weeks ago in my computer. I went to the "download space" (in german "synaptic-paketverwaltung") and I downloaded lilypond, but I looked for the program in my computer and I didn't find it. Normally there's a place, where you can find all the programs that you download, but lilypond is not in this list. I hope you can help me, I really want to use this program! Thank you very much!
