Hello, John, Carl and everyone.

Thank you for your replys.

It is the good explanation. I can understand it.

I understand it too. If I find a good example for Appendix B.1, I will
tell you.

Yes, it is my hope to provide LilyPond community with my translation.
I am not a professional for music or translation, so my Japanese
document is not so good. But I hope someone will brush it up.


Now, I am stuck at "./autogen.sh" of following instruction:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/TRANSLATION;hb=lilypond/translation

It says:
====
...
WARNING: Please consider install optional programs:  texi2html >= 1.79
(installed: 1.78)

ERROR: Please install required programs: mpost
...
====

I am using Ubuntu 8.10.
I found texi2html ver. 1.78 by "sudo apt-get install texi2html", but I
do not know how to install texi2html ver. 1.79 into Ubuntu.
And "MetaPost" for "mpost" is not found by "sudo apt-get install metapost".
Someone help me, please.

Thanks,

Sawada, Yoshiki
