Thanks Carl!
Alas, that document is for version 2.11 and I am on Ubuntu 64bit and only
have
\version "2.10.33" ...
I guess that's why the code you sent me, which looks like exactly what I
need, failed, like this:
$ lilypond -b eps ex-04.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.10.33
Processing `ex-04.ly'
Parsing...
ex-04.ly:24:0: error: unknown escaped string: `\storePredefinedDiagram'
\storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode { c1:7sus4 }
Is there a solution in version 2.10 or can I get 2.11 and build it for my
64bit Ubuntu platform?
I really appreciate all this help, just the pointer to the learning manual
was a big help. I never would have found it on the Lilypond.org site,
strangley...
Thanks for taking such good care of us noobies.
By the way, I've laready started on a lisp front end to make it easier to
automate the construction of the ly files!
Ciao,
GF
