Re: missing lilypond-tex-metrics.tex

[Aaron Mehl]

Hi

When I was first learning lilypond I found most things
confusing. After all I was coming from Finale.
I also am a html/sgml docbook person and found the
structure of lilypond confusing. But that was then,
now it appears things have changed for the good,
better docs, more logical structure, etc.

I need the simplest layout without includes, mutopia
files are complicated. I can write a lilypond score
thankyou no problem. I am just trying to create a
template for my songbook without includes.

That said, having used Lilypond for years I am most
excited with the 2.5/2/6 versions, wow what a great
job the Lilypond developers have done.
