Re: [Denemo-devel] Showing lilypond text editing window

[Neil Johnson]

Richard,

I think I found my problem...I was running the make install from the
denemo root folder instead of the src folder.  When I ran it in the
src folder, it correctly installed and lo and behold the lilypond view
window appeared.  Thanks,

Neil
