It is a compiler. It expects to "find" a text file, with extension .ly and convert this to a music score as a .pdf file. If you have such a file and drag and drop it on the icon it will be compiled. However, I would recommend using the excellent (and also free) Frescobaldi front-end editor---see <http://www.frescobaldi.org/>. Also, and you'll get this a lot on this group---Read the manual, in particular and first the Learning manual. I'd also read the Essay as well, as it gives some background information. Find these, and the other docs, at <http://lilypond.org/manuals.html> It sounds like you need a converter program.Perhaps someone with more knowledge of this can help out. -- Mark Austin -- For Whigs admit no force but argument -- ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Is it possible to switch of pagination completely, and rely on manual
breaks? To put this in context, I'm compling a book of folk tunes.
These tend to be 2-4 (very rarely more) lines long. I'd like them in
alphabetical order, but with individual tunes not split over pages,
and wouldn't mind a layout rather more cramped than Lilypond usually
likes. As it is, even with minimal page breaking, I end up shuffling
tunes around to improve the layout

If you originate a work - in this context compose some music - you have copyright control over any production of that work. Once that copyright has lapsed, a third party can reproduce the work in, for example, a book. They then get typograpghical copyright: which means, in effect, that you cannot reproduce the book, but you could reset the music into a work of your own. For music, there is a further complication. If someone arranges music, e.g. by adding chords, they gain a copyright on the arrangement, but not on the original music. For example, I am produciong a book of tradition British folk tunes from a music worksshop some years go. The tunes are traditional, and thus out of copyright, but the chords/arrangements are copyright, and I had to get permission from the family. -- Mark Austin -- For Whigs admit no force but argument -- ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Snippets
I'm trying to extract some Lilypond snippets to insert into a Word

}
\header {

}
There are two problems. The first is that this generates two sets of
snippets, one for each line of music. Is there any way to generate a
snippet covering both lines.
The second is that it generates an error, and does not generate the
overall pdf output from the ps file. The error is:
c:/Program
Files/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/framework-ps.scm:548:62:
In procedure car in expression (car systems):
c:/Program

Re: Problems with Piano Staff Template
Thanks James. Works a treat now. However, this means the error is in
the template in the Learning Manual, since I copied it straight over.
The first few lines of the first \score block should be:

\new PianoStaff = "PianoStaff_pf" <<
\new Staff = "Staff_pfUpper" << \global \upper >>
\new Dynamics = "Dynamics_pf" \dynamics

Centered footnotes and spacing
I'm putting the finishing touches on a book of English folk tunes, but
have a few problems.
The first is in trying to center a footnote. So far, I've got this:
\paper {
#(define page-breaking ly:minimal-breaking)
ragged-bottom = ##t
oddFooterMarkup = \markup { Engraved on \simple #(strftime "%b %d,
%Y" (localtime (current-time))) with \with-url
#"http://lilypond.org/web/"; { LilyPond \simple #(lilypond-version)
(http://lilypond.org/) } }
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { "The Tunes of John Nourse"
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }
evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \fromproperty
#'page:page-number-string "The Tunes of John Nourse" }
}
but would like to have the footnote centered on the page.
Also, I would like to space the individual tunes a bit more apart. I
include them as follows:
\include "32 Bar Jigs/Blackberry Quadrille.ly"
\include "32 Bar Jigs/Blackthorn Stick.ly"
\include "32 Bar Jigs/Captain Lemos Quick March.ly"
\pageBreak
but would like a line or so separation.

Is there any way of including a conditional page break? What I want it for is in collections of Folk Music. These are short pieces, typically 32 bars, and generally 2-4 lines of music.
