7 This is a beta version of LilyPond (a music typesetter). Please send
8 your helpful comments and patches to me,
12 LilyPond is updated very frequently, the latest version is always available at:
14 ftp://pcnov095.win.tue.nl/pub/lilypond
20 - Unix (any decent Linux distrib is fine)
21 - GNU C++ v2.7 or better
25 - The "flower" library
26 - which should be available from the same source you got this from.
33 The Makefile uses perl for trivial
34 operations, and you could tinker with it to use sed or awk.
40 tar zxf flower-1.11.9.tar.gz
41 mv flower-1.11.9 flower
42 cd flower; make; cd ..
43 tar zxf lilypond-1.2.13.tar.gz
47 why G++ >= 2.7? LilyPond & flower lib uses:
51 operator <?, operator >?
55 No, you shouldn't. Really. If you're still not discouraged; this is
56 what I type in my xterm:

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