Re: Having some trouble getting LilyPond to run on the command line

[BB]

No problem at all, the net is as it is!

But I  definitely must declaire that I cannot find something like a 
clear "thread" and I cannot find the "core" of the question. But the 
thread is building yet. Obviously the other people trying to help are to 
be groping in the dark as well.

One of the returns following my post is referrencing to
  "followed the steps at http://www.lilypond.org/macos-x.html";
Another one is telling that one wishes to use Abjad, sorry  I only know 
Abjad as an Arabic Alphabet Learning System.

In one of the confusing assemble of postings is I tried
chmod u+x ....
I do not know that option u. Chek
chmode --help
Usually in this cases one might use
chmode a+x ...
to make executable all files .

Be shure, that is tha last "noise" I will add to this thread - if it is 
any!!!!!!

Thanks!
