Sorry for such a mundane question; All I want is to print
some music. I'm normally very good at installing from source,
but lilypond has me buffaloed.
I have a copy of Fur Elise that I downloaded from mutopia, then
hacked^H^H^H^H^H^Harranged for Flute and Viola, that I need to
make some edits on. But I can't for the life of me get a version
of lilypond that reads it, or for that matter, goes through more
than half of the test .ly files in the respective distributions.
I have tried 1.4.15 and 1.6.7. I have RH7.3 with (almost all)
the updates in place, plus a copy of guile-1.4. I do this as
a mortal user, so I have to
source ~/src/lilypond-1.4.15/buildscripts/out/lilypond-profile
and so forth. I can, in fact, get example-1.ly to come out
of both 1.4.15 and 1.6.7. I could adjust the header format
of Fur Elise, if I got a version that looked promising on the
test cases. Here's an example crash:
$ ly2dvi ~/src/lilypond-1.6.7/input/opus-130.ly

I'm open to any advice you can give, that doesn't involve downloading
binaries. Thanks in advance!
