To learn more about coding LaTeX documents, please refer to some latex documentation or mailinglist. For LilyPond: did you read the lilypond-book documentation (http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/LilyPond_002dbook.html#LilyPond_002dbook)? Besides, I would not use that under windows, because with Texniccenter/MikTeX it really steals your time to set up your editor properly - it's ugly tweaking. Use pdfcrop (it's included with MikTeX) instead to produce your snippets, and include them as images. > > I would be extraordinarily grateful if somebody/anybody on this list could > help > me understand this, or even just direct me to a good FAQ/Tutorial/Help page. > > Thank you all for your time! > > Very best, > Ross M.
