the cd ~/Desktop
sudo lilypond-2.10.33.-1.linux-x86.sh
still didn't work. I get the error
"Can't open lilypond-2.10.33.-1.linux-x86.sh"
Those filenames plenty of dashes and dots are almost impossible to
type correctly, please do the following:
- forget 2.10 and download 2.11.65, the latest candidate to stable release.
- when gedit tries to open it, choose "save file" instead just like
you did before.
- move to where the file is and type
sudo sh lilyp
then press the [TAB] key. This should auto-complete the filename. If
it is not fully auto-completed (maybe because you still have 2.10 in
the directory), it should stop at lilypond-2.1, then just write
another '1' and press TAB again.
excellent. I believe it worked... Yaaay! Thank you. But because I am new to
linux, I am looking for an "icon" to double click, and sadly am not finding it.
I can see it in the /usr/local/bin...it's there with a number of other
obviously lilypond related documents.
does lilypond need to be opened from the terminal (shell?)--and if so, uh, how
do you do that again?
(newbie.)
thank you!
