Re: No Work!

Did you follow the instructions in the text file? There's no graphical interface for this program. The text file tells you how you go about creating a score with Lilypond. 

Save the file by doing File>Save As>testfile.ly
Then choose Compile>Typeset File (my memory may be faulty here)

It's possible to do this from a terminal but requires some additional setup on Mac. I suggest trying this method first.

Downloaded both documentation and program. Downloaded fine.
Dragged ap to applications folder.
Put documentation folder there too.
Double-clicked the application and I get a text file that says:
"save this file"
"Select 'compile>typeset file' from the menu--"
NOTHING comes up when I go to the LilyPond menu. It turns blue as if it's
selected, but it doesn't do anything. The program also will not quit.
Can I compile the file in Terminal somehow?
Any other suggestions??
