Hi. I have LilyPond 1.6.5. installed (Cygwin) and have tried it for the first time. Look nice, spent quite some time to get things working out. I have some questions, things I'm not able to find out how to 'implement'.
As has already pointed out, please upgrade to version 2.2, which is now available in Cygwin.
Some stylistic comments: - I recommend to add a '|' where you expect each bar to stop, look in the manual for bar checks to learn why. - It's also a good habit to write one bar per line in the input file. - Always add a line \version "1.6.5" or whatever version you use. This makes it much easier to upgrade to a newer version of LilyPond, using the convert-ly program.
Enclosed below is my program.
1: The first 3 notes (a triple) should be played as one quarter note. I thought that I would have to specify "\times 2/3", however doing that results in the whole piece being shifted (result all wrong).
\partial 4 \times 2/3 { b8(\f c'8 d'8)\segno }
You also have another triplet that erronously says \times 1/3 instead of \times 2/3
2: The first "\grace" note should be right in front of the first Es (in the second bar of the piece), however it is printed as the last note in the first bar.
Fixed in newer versions of LilyPond.
4: Bar number 10 is the final should have the mark "Fine", however when
entering a non-number in the "volta" statement, LilyPond generates an
error.
If you want to replace the number in the volta with "fine", then you probably need to look at the section in the users manual on "manual repeat commands".
5: Bar number 19 should be the first bar of section marked Trio. It is in a new key (2 b's while the rest has 3 b's). The change in "b" indication ends up at the end of bar 18 and again a "\grace" note which should be the first in the 19th bar is placed in a separate bar. Actually the repeats should be something like ":|:".
Again, a bug in your old version.
6: Should LilyPond be able to handle national characters ?
Certainly, just input them as usual: ������ This presumes that your editor saves the file with latin1 character encoding. I always use Emacs as text editor, both in Linux and Windows, which handles latin1 like a charm.
Hope someone is able to help me out. Really nice program, however somewhat hard to get started. Please answer to me directly.
It seems to me that you have managed to get very far yourself.
