RE: Download 2.4.6 for Windows

[Fairchild]

Jan -

In http://lilypond.org/web/ "Download" (at the top) links to
http://lilypond.org/web/install which, under 2.4, lists only 2.4.2 for
Windows.

http://lilypond.org/web/ says 2.4.6 in the Quick links list.  Link
http://lilypond.org/web/install/#2.4 offers only 2.4.2 for Windows.

Earlier versions (1.6.11, 2.0.1, 2.4.3) would occasionally terminate in
strange and mysterious ways - hasn't happened with 2.4.6.

I like 2.4.6 because it does rather well the things I do, because it works
well with jEdit, because I've learned to deal with the fonts, because I've
found ways to deal with vertical layout, etc. -- i.e., it is solid for my
purposes.

Reading the mail, it seems that newer versions have various problems with
installation and fonts and maybe jEdit.

2.4 is obsolete, please do not recommend it.

What exactly do you mean when you say `2.4.6 does not crash'?
