Note: These instructions assume that you are familiar with command-line programs. If you are using any of the programs described in Easier editing, please consult the documentation for those programs if you have any problems compiling a file.
Step 1. Create your ‘.ly’ file
Create a text file called ‘test.ly’ and enter:
\version "2.18.2"
{
c' e' g' e'
}
Step 2. Compile (with command-line)
To process ‘test.ly’, type the following at the command prompt:
lilypond test.ly
You will see something resembling:
GNU LilyPond 2.18.2 Processing `test.ly' Parsing... Interpreting music... Preprocessing graphical objects... Solving 1 page-breaking chunks...[1: 1 pages] Drawing systems... Layout output to `test.ps'... Converting to `./test.pdf'... Success: compilation successfully completed
Step 3. View output
You may view or print the resulting ‘test.pdf’.
