Hi,
thanks for your help
> You use
>>
>> lilypond THE_FILENAME.ly
>>
>> to create the document,
I tried to go into my lilypond profile
and to create a lilypond file:
lilypond test.ly
but it doesn’t create a document.
message:
test.ly can’t be found.
Than I created a file:
touch test.ly
and opended it with:
gedit test.ly
So I can edit this file but
terminal message:
TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'
Do I have to install something else?
How can I create a .ly file in the terminal?
On the lilypond website they create a file with frescobaldi, but they
don’t explain how to do it in the terminal.
Kind regards
Gottfried
