Hi, I am needing help correctly compiling Handel's Messiah from the following website:
http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/index.php/2009/06/20/40 When I get into the scores.ily and attempt to just compile them I get so many errors: error: unknown escaped string: `\instrumentName' error: unrecognized string, not in text script or \lyricmode etc. So, I thought I should go into the file folder marked "common" and start compiling there. It was going fine until I got to the file marked "layout.ily" and then I get the error message: error: GUILE signaled an error for the expression beginning here the expression being: #(define-public *paper-size* (make-parameter 'a4)) Am I even compiling his .ily files correctly as I have never compiled .ily files? Forgive me if I should already know how to do this. I typically use Frescobaldi to compile all my lily files. Thanks so much! _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
