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 distribution is fine)
21 - GNU C++ v2.7 or better
23 - flex (2.5.1 or better)
25 - The "flower" library, which should be available from the
26 same source you got this from.
34 The Makefile uses perl for trivial operations, and you could tinker
35 with it to use sed or awk.
41 tar zxf flower-1.11.9.tar.gz
42 mv flower-1.11.9 flower
43 cd flower; make; cd ..
44 tar zxf lilypond-1.2.13.tar.gz
48 why G++ >= 2.7? LilyPond & flower lib uses:
52 operator <?, operator >?
56 At this time, LilyPond is only suited for Quick & Dirty jobs (the
57 output quality still is too low). If you're not discouraged; this is
58 what I type in my xterm:
64 This is what the output looks like over here:

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