You can get the latest version of LilyPond at
-@url{ ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/}. Refer to the links

@emph{If you upgrade by patching do remember to rerun autoconf after
applying the patch}.

For compilation you need:
disk-space run configure with @code{--disable-debugging}.
Although we recommend to use Unix, LilyPond is known to run on Windows
-NT/95/98 as well. See Section @xref{w32}.

following software
@item A PostScript printer and/or viewer (such as Ghostscript) is strongly
recommended. Xdvi will show all embedded PostScript too if you have

For running LilyPond successfully you have to help TeX and MetaFont
LilyPond is a hiddeously big, slow and bloated program. A fast CPU
and plenty of RAM is recommended for comfortable use.

+@section Website
The website is the most convenient form to use for reading the
documentation on-line documentation. It is made by entering @example
@item xpmtoppm (from the Portable Bitmap Utilities) (For RedHat Linux
users: it is included within the package libgr-progs).

@item pnmtopng, which is also in libgr-progs for RedHat. The original is
at

The version of @file{pnmtopng} that is distributed with RedHat 5.1 and

The website will build without this utility, but you will not see our

You also have to install @file{buildscripts/out/ps-to-gifs} in a
