[linux-audio-user] Note Edit and LilyPond

[Dave Phillips]

Hi Chris:

  Ah, excellent, those suggestions work. However, it still seems that NE 
is not exporting even according to its own directives. I specifically 
asked it to keep beaming and stem directions, but all that info was lost 
in the exported LY file. Otherwise, everything else was successfully 
exported. I added the version line and followed your instructions as 
indicated, and voila, I have fresh PS, PDF, and DVI files.

  Thanks a lot !

  Thanks also for the RG tip, I'll be sure to test the native printing.

Best,

dp
