If you would be willing to make suggestions about
what the changes should be, we would try to incorporate them.

Subject: Re: Newbie problems
I've
realised that there's a silly problem here, which isn't Lilypond's fault. One
really needs two different defaults for opening a .ly file: one to edit it
(Lilypad, Frescobaldi etc.) and one to engrave it (Lilypond). And Microsoft,
curse them, in Windows 7 and later removed the possibility for users to add
menu items to the right-click on an icon. I'm told that you can still do it
with a registry fix (dangerous), but that's not much consolation.
Maybe
the documentation could do with a bit of tweaking
here?

PM, you wrote:

The OS
is Windows 7, if that makes any difference.
which version of
lilypond? 1) Double-clicking on a .ly file gets into Wordpad, and
doesn't compile the file. To compile it I have to drag-and-drop the file onto
the Lilypond icon on the desktop. This doesn't seem to conform to the
documentation.
I think that you have to associate the .ly extension
with Lilypad. BTW, I recommend using Frescobaldi instead of
Lilypad: http://frescobaldi.org/download 2) Once it's compiled
there's no output, just a log file without errors (see below).
