21 The fonts have changed so you will also need to remove any cached
22 fonts. In addition please bring music sources up to date by using
23 convert-mudela utility. I used:

45 LilyPond uses the code(TeX) package as its rendering engine. code(TeX)
46 represents the state-of-the-art in computer typesetting. It is used to
47 generate documentation, article, and book quality output. It is an
48 assume tool to have in your toolbox.
50 LilyPond uses a code(Python) script named code(ly2dvi) to render a
51 professional quality music score. code(Python) is an interpreted,
52 interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often
53 compared to code(Tcl), code(Perl), code(Scheme) or code(Java).
