编译文件
注意：These instructions assume that you are using the built-in
LilyPad editor. If you are using any of the programs described in
(web)Easier editing section ‘Easier editing’ in General Information, consult the documentation for those programs
should you have any problems.
Step 1. Create your ‘.ly’ file
Double-click the LilyPond icon on your desktop and an example file will open.
From the menus that appear along the top of the example file,
select File > Save as. Do not use the File > Save
for the example file as this will not work until you have given it a
valid LilyPond file name.
Choose a name for your file, for example ‘test.ly’.
Step 2. Compile
To turn your LilyPond file into a music score, you need to compile it. This
can be done a number of ways – using drag and drop, with right-click,
double-clicking or using the command line (a DOS box). We’ll look at the
first three to start with.
1. Drag-and-drop the file directly onto the LilyPond icon on the desktop.
Not much will seem to happen, but after a short while, you should
see two new files on your desktop – ‘test.log’ and
‘test.pdf’.
2. Right-click on the file and from the pop-up context menu and
choose Generate PDF.
3. Or simply double-click the ‘test.ly’.
Step 3. View output
‘test.pdf’ contains the engraved ‘test.ly’
file. Double-click it and it should open in your PDF viewer:
Other commands
To create a new file, begin by selecting File > New from
within any previously created file or File > Open to open and
edit any files you have saved before. You can also edit a file by
right-clicking it and selecting Edit source.
You must save any edits you make before you try to compile your
file. If the PDF file is not created or the output is not what you
expected, check the log file that will have been created during the
compilation attempt for any errors.
This log file is overwritten each time you compile your LilyPond file.
If you are viewing your file in a PDF viewer, then you must close the PDF
if you wish to try a new compilation as it may fail to create the new PDF
while it is still being viewed.
在命令行中运行
注意：If you are happy with the GUI, then please ignore these
instructions.
Windows 里的命令行
The most convenient way to run LilyPond is by adding the folder
which contains LilyPond executable files to the environmental variable
“Path”.
-
Open your “System” on the Control Panel,
select Advanced tab and click Environmental Variables button.
-
Select the Variable “Path” from Environmental variables list
and click the Edit button.
You will be presented a window titled “Edit System Variable”;
append to “Variable value” the name of the folder
which contains LilyPond executable files like this:
| | [pre-set paths];DIR\LilyPond\usr\bin
|
注意：DIR will generally be C:\Program Files.
and click “OK” button to close the window.
