Rick, Like you I'm a musician and not a programmer, also running Win XP, with Lilypond 2.10. I found the LilyPondTool for jEdit makes things quite simple. You really should give it a try. I haven't figured out all the tricks yet but at least I'm off to a start!
Thanks for the tip on LP 2.11. I noticed some collisions between text, slurs, and articulations while inputting Strauss' First Horn Concerto (mostly just to learn, but once I'm done I'll have a *clean* copy!) with 2.10, and the What's New notice for 2.11 indicates that those will be fixed in the new version. Yay! BTW, I noticed (because I'm a horn player!) that Han-Wen Nienhuys input quite a bit of horn music. Han-Wen, are you a horn player? >Ok... > >I must be missing something very simple, but I've been beating a dead horse >for the past few weeks trying to get convert-ly and other utilities to run >on Windows XP. > >From te command prompt I change directory to "C:\Program >Files\LilyPond\usr\bin" which is where lilyponfd is installed, but when I >enter convert-ly on the command line Windows says it is not recognized as a >command.
