Dear Br. Samuel, Thank you. I successfully installed the engine and will explore its use in TeXworks. I suppose I no longer need to try using the command line method, but I did want to mention that my efforts to follow the LilyPond right hand column instructions have proved fruitless. I follow the instructions up to chmod, but it gives me: -bash: chmod: command not found Maybe I just shouldn’t worry about it. I am curious, however, whether using LilyPond-Book in TeXworks is all I would need to do to create a paper with music examples, or should I figure out how to incorporate multiple files into one main LaTeX document, using LilyPond-Book only for examples (like in Gregorio; I think I recognize you from those discussions, Brother)? Thank you, again, Br. Samuel. God bless you, Conor On Mar 23, 2014, at 8:04 PM, Br.
