21 I have made my first attempt at distributing lilypond as a self
22 extracting executable for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95. The
23 executable will extract the distribution in the directory specified by
24 the user and create em(lilypond-@TOPLEVEL_VERSION@\lily.bat). This
25 batch file initializes the LilyPond environment and fires up a Command
26 Prompt. From this Command Prompt you may run:
36 I have also converted the Manual Pages for the above tools to HTML for
37 easy browsing. This release has been tested on Windows NT 4.0sp3 and
38 Windows 95 and found to be operational. If you have any troubles and

54 LilyPond uses the code(TeX) package as its rendering engine. code(TeX)
55 represents the state-of-the-art in computer typesetting. It is used to
56 generate documentation, article, and book quality output. It is an
57 assume tool to have in your toolbox.
59 LilyPond uses a code(Python) script named code(ly2dvi) to render a
60 professional quality music score. code(Python) is an interpreted,
61 interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often
62 compared to code(Tcl), code(Perl), code(Scheme) or code(Java).
64 Gsview is used to display and print the music scores created by
