hmm, that's what i thought as well, but when i tried exporting them, after setting them, i received an error message, so left it at that. [box]$ export $LILYPONDPREFIX that's the command i tried. however, i have now updated my guile to version 1.5.6 and everything is now working hunkydory. _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
