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 should be
17 available from the same source you got this from.
21 You will need GNU C++ v2.7 or better and GNU make. If you actually
22 want to use this, you'd better use the "speedy" compilation flags in
26 tar zxf flower-1.11.9.tar.gz
27 mv flower-1.11.9 flower
28 cd flower; make; cd ..
29 tar zxf lilypond-1.2.13.tar.gz
33 why G++ >= 2.7? LilyPond & flower lib uses builtin bool and typeof.
37 No, you shouldn't. Really. If you're still not discouraged; this is
38 what I type in my xterm:
44 This is what the output looks like over here.

66 If LilyPond bombs out, then please recompile using -g, and send a gdb
67 stacktrace of the crash.
72 * Use The Source, Luke. If you don't know C++, you can try editing
73 .dstreamrc for copious debugging output.
75 * the subdir Documentation/ contains some in depth matter on LilyPond
78 * The source is commented in the DOC++ style.
