You did not previously mention your operating system. Most definitely LilyPond 1.4 did not run under Windows 8.1. I actually doubt that it was easy to get to compile/run under _any_ version of Windows. The earliest version on the download site for Windows is 2.6.0. However, I expect the hassle to get this to run nicely under Windows likely worse than the headache convert-ly will provide for converting from 2.6.0 to current versions. If you want to give the Linux binary a try, there is a Linux VM running under Windows for/with LilyPond somewhere on the website. It might possibly work wit the ancient installer. But you'll probably have less of a hassle and more of an improvement by converting the source code. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
