Re: Is there an online / hosted version of Lilypond?

[Mark Klenk]

I confess I did not, and I just looked at it - yikes - that's a LOT of stuff to read through.

My goal - at least right now - is not to become an expert but produce a working arrangement (which I have been able to do). Thus, it will likely be a while before I read/work through the tutorial.

Interestingly, I did do a search for clef notation and did not realize that the result of the search was a more recent version (not the one you pointed me at): http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/clef-styles - this newer version doesn't refer to the clef suffixes - I'm assuming/hoping those will still work when the dev version becomes stable.

Mark.

I am just learning Lilypond for the first time, and it seems quite powerful although not at all intuitive.

Thankfully, lilybin.com <http://lilybin.com> (v2.18.2) tells me *where* my errors are although it requires some trial and error to fix.

Did you read the learning manual, and thoroughly? It’s an invaluable resource and should save you a lot of ‘trial and error’.

Best, Simon
