Hello,
I'm a Czech music teacher. I'm visually impaired, so creating scores
graphically is very tiring for my eyes. I just downloaded and
installed LilyPond 2.8.1 on WindowsXP Pro Czech edition. As a Czech
user, I'd like to use Czech accented characters within text elements
in LilyPond.
1. I have never used Unicode-capable text editor, all my plain-text
files are stored using cp1250 codepage. I'd like to use Notepad++
(based on Scintilla engine) as an input file editor. Is there any
support for this editor? How to save an input file so that CZ
characters appear correctly in output?
The simple answer is that you need an editor that can save
files using UTF-8 encoding. You know more about Notepad++ than I do.
There are a number of proposed editors listed somewhere in the on-line
documentation.
2. Is there a way to output LilyPond score as a raster image with
preset dpi value (e.g. 300, 600 dpi), so that I could create short
music examples and insert them as images into Windows word processor?
See the section on Invoking LilyPond. I hope you are familiar to the
command prompt in Windows. Then it's easy to use whatever flags to
LilyPond, such as
lilypond --png myfile.ly
