Ubuntu 8.04 and Lilypond
Hi, I have installed Lilypond on a Windows Xp based computer. Just for trying, music notation used to be my only reason for keeping Windows. But now that I've found Lilypond, I want to install it on my Ubuntu laptop. It seems to install (via apt-get), but no results so far. What do I need to know? I still consider myself an Ubuntu/Linux newbie. Please help me enjoy Lilypond and get rid of Microsoft!!

Re: Ubuntu 8.04 and Lilypond
Downloading the 'any x86' installer from the lilypond website and then running it using the directions on the download page works flawlessly. Alternatively, run the Add/Remove program (on the main menu) and search 'lilypond' and that should give you the option to install the 'stable' branch (2.10.33), but there are many reasons to use the latest development branch, and it's really not that hard to install. And on behalf of all the other GNU/Linux users on the list, Welcome to Linux! Dave Ronald van Eunen wrote: Hi, I have installed Lilypond on a Windows Xp based computer.

Solution #1 (basic) a) write a .ly file and save it somewhere, e.g. /home/ronald/music/great-music.ly, which in linux can be abbreviated to ~/music/great-music.ly (I remember searching for a while for an explanation of what '~' actually meant when I was new to linux; I mean: how do you google something like that...?) b) Open a console and cd to where you saved your file (cd music) c) process your file: lilypond great-music.ly d) open your fine file with a pdf reader (e.g. xpdf great-music.pdf) 2. Solution #2 (simpler) apt-get jedit, then install the lilypondTool in the plugins section. eyolf -- KnaraKat Bite me. * TheOne gets some salt, then proceeds to nibble on KnaraKat a little bit ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

2008/11/25, Eyolf Østrem [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 2. Solution #2 (simpler) apt-get jedit, then install the lilypondTool in the plugins section. eyolf it is apt-get install jedit. Anyway, this does not work on ubuntu 8.04 and it doesn't either on ubuntu 8.10 which I use. The reason is, that version of jedit does not include lilypondtool in the plugins section, and it also does not include sidekick which is needed to the manual installation of the plugin. The jedit web page does not support Linux users. What I did (and recommend, because the point-and-click feature is so time-saving) is to install the jre 6.10 from Sun, then download jedit from the webpage and install it with java -- jar from the console. Then you will have the latest lilypondtool in the plugins section. Good luck, -- Francisco Vila.
