5 This is a beta version of LilyPond (a music typesetter). Please send
6 your helpful comments and patches to me,
10 LilyPond is updated very frequently, the latest version is always available at:
12 ftp://pcnov095.win.tue.nl/pub/lilypond
16 TeX, the MusixTeX fonts, g++ > v2.7. The "flower" library, which
17 should be available from the same source you got this from. The
18 Makefile uses perl for trivial operation, but you could tinker with it
23 You will need GNU C++ v2.7 or better and GNU make. If you actually
24 want to use this, you'd better use the "speedy" compilation flags in
28 tar zxf flower-1.11.9.tar.gz
29 mv flower-1.11.9 flower
30 cd flower; make; cd ..
31 tar zxf lilypond-1.2.13.tar.gz
35 why G++ >= 2.7? LilyPond & flower lib uses builtin bool and typeof.
39 No, you shouldn't. Really. If you're still not discouraged; this is
40 what I type in my xterm:
46 This is what the output looks like over here.

68 If LilyPond bombs out, then please recompile using -g, and send a gdb
69 stacktrace of the crash.
74 * Use The Source, Luke. If you don't know C++, you can try editing
75 .dstreamrc for copious debugging output. (use -d)
77 * the subdir Documentation/ contains some in depth matter on LilyPond
80 * The source is commented in the DOC++ style.
