If your LilyPond installation resides in /usr/local/ then that should be correct.

So, the first line should actually read:

(setq load-path (append (list ("/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp")) load-path))

if "/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp" is the (apparently appropriate) result of a $locate on /emacs/site-lisp?

    In the file /init.el/ paste in the following lines:

    (setq load-path (append (list (expand-file-name
    "~/emacs/site-lisp")) load-path))

    (autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode" "LilyPond Editing Mode" t)
    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode))
    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ily$" . LilyPond-mode))
    (add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))

    And in the first line where it says /expand-file-name
    "~/emacs/site-lisp"/ paste in the full path to your
    /emacs/site-lisp folder in your LilyPond installation. It will be
    /home//user//lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp if you installed
    LilyPond in your home folder. Don't forget to change /user/ in the
    path.

    Save the file and try opening a .ly file with emacs. If it works,
    the code will turn pretty colors and there will be a 'lilypond'
    menu at the top amongst the others.

        Okay, in home/rpalmer/, I've got a .emacs.d. The only thing
        that contains is auto-save-list (a directory), which is empty.
        I'll create the init.el file in ~/.emacs.d.

           Dave,

           Does it make any/much/a significant difference that I'm running
           8.10? I would think anything that worked under 8.04 should work
           under 8.10.

               It shouldn't be this hard to set up lilypond-mode for emacs
               under Ubuntu 8.04.

               Ralph, check in your home folder and see if there is a
        folder
               called .emacs.d and if there is a file in that folder named
               init.el

               It should be there. If not, create that file and
        folder. We're
               going to get this working.

I tried M-x lilypond-mode, and got an emacs error
                       message that lilypond-mode
                       couldn't be found.
Anyone have a suggestion?
                   Mmmh... jEdit?

                   OK, I'm out :)
