Hi everybody! I'm new to this list. First of all, I want show all my gratefulness for the existence of such a beautiful program like Lilypond. I'm becoming an enthusiastic user of it... also if my usage isn't so extended. I'm studying it from some weeks and trying to know better how it works.

Re: Whats wrong with my midi file?

Why not include also a \layout{} block to see what LilyPond does when it expands the \repeat unfold commands? I hope you know that ... means play things in parallel. If you want things played in a sequence, you enclose the sequence in curly braces, {...}, instead. However, for some intricate

This doesn't apply to the 2.4 series at all, since 2.4 doesn't use Unicode. Fairchild wrote: Don't find fontconfig in 2.4.6. Where does fc-list live? How to use fc-list? Version 2.4.6, Windows XP, Cygwin. Don't find fc-list in the 2.4.6 package. I believe it's part of fontconfig. --
