a) Ok good to know that explains the compiling problems fundamentally.
If the manual were a lyluatex file it would have been one of the
greatest tutorials right there.
What I tried to compile is the manual in the zip download here
"https://ctan.org/pkg/lyluatex?lang=en";
Which seemed to be the lyluatex code, but I am seemingly mistaken.
b) Ok
c) Ok I saw that, but where that was mentioned there was no direct
compile instruction. The option --shell-escape was mentioned in the body
text and there was no direct compile command.
If
"lualatex --shell-escape somefile.tex"
were in the instructions I did not have to ask this question, but it is
absent.
Would be a good idea to add that.
Question:
1) Since I cannot compile the manual and use that to learn lyluatex, (my
preferred latex way to learn is just to work through the code compiling
the manual. (Last 20+ more years taught me that is by far the best way.)
Is there an indepth lyluatex manual that is compilable with luatex ?
2) Is there an archive with lots of lyluatex document examples combining
both text and musical notaion in the document ?
Thanks

I installed lyluatex by means of texlive-luatex.
I then tried to compile the manual (lyluatex.tex) in the luatex
download zip archive as a test.
$] latex lyluatex.tex
It exits with errors.
Obviously then the compiler is not LaTeX.
There are several issues here:
a)
The manual is not written in a lyluatex.tex file but in lyluatex.md,
which has to be processed with Pandoc. Also the Zip download from
Github doesn't contain such a file, so I don't know what you actually
tried to compile.
The manual is thorough but I cannot find a single instance of how to
compile a lyluatex file.
I must have overlooked it but just cannot find it.
b)
lyluatex relies (as the name suggests) on LuaLaTeX, so the basic
command has to be lualatex, not latex.
This is stated in the first "Note:" section of the "Usage" section. In
a slightly more informal way it is also stated in the first paragraph
of the introduction.
c)
As lyluatex invokes LilyPond it needs the privilege to do so. This is
done by the command line option --shell-escape.
This is described in some detail in the third "NOTE:" section of said
"Usage" section
So what is the mysterious compile command ?
lualatex --shell-escape somefile.tex
thanks
