Re: lilypond 1.8.1-1 on OS X 10.2.6 installed but test fails

[Alexander Fordyce]

Thanks again... it would appear that I'm up and running!  A couple of warning 
messages in the output (e.g. "Overfull \vbox (0.7539pt too high) has occurred 
while \output is active", "ly2dvi: warning: can't find file: `test.midi'") but 
the pdf is generated, and this time it's high-quality antialiased type.  Much 
appreciated!

Cheers,
Alex
