Thank you so very much Aaron!

Seems like it worked well.  I added the new release in my home directory since
trying to uninstall 2.18.2 with Synaptic Package Manager would also uninstall Frescobaldi.
Frescobaldi allows two or more versions to be accessed.
We'll see if this was the right decision.

So much to learn...


          |This is an installation script, not a package.  To my knowledge, it has
nothing to do with any package managers.

As such, you will first need to use your package manager to manually
uninstall any existing LilyPond package if you have one that you want to
replace.  Then you can simply run 'sudo sh
lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh' (no extra arguments needed) and follow
the prompts.  This will install under /usr/local/lilypond with a
shortcut under /usr/local/bin by default.

An alternative is to install LilyPond to your home directory for a
user-specific installation.  This will be independent of any other
installation, meaning you do not need to futz with any package managers.
  In this case, do not use 'sudo'.  Just run 'sh
lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh'.  By default, it will install under
/~/lilypond with a shortcut under /~/bin.

Hi Ben,
 
Thank you very much for in info about drop down entries with frecobaldi. Yes I am a window 10 user.
I manage to run regedit and now mi drop down list is clean up.  Thank you.
 
One question:  how can I sort the drop down list?  OR is it  automatically sorted? I had lot of Chinese character entry.
 
Thank you,Ming

I may be having the same problem. I'm using FontForge to make adjustments to
the shapenote note heads in emmentaler so they are more readable. This
involves changing the width of some symbols. When I generate my custom
version of emmentaler, some of the note heads don't line up with the stems.
Perhaps the problem is the LILC, LILF, and LILY tables? Could someone please
explain how to update them? Help greatly appreciated!

good to know Urs about the frescobaldi.conf file.  I want to modify the wizard and I saw that I can do that more than I realized in the settings, parts and Titles and Headings tabs which is amazing and very helpful.
I guess I thought from the other post the three (settings, parts and Titles and Headings) tabs were also modifiable. Perhaps I was confused by the post by Ming saying that subsubtitle has a drop down menu as on my version it is a fill-in blank.   I do not need to modify them the tabs as I now realize that any info inputted to score wizard is saved unless <clear> is press and if one still wants to edit score wizard and yet save the inputted info one can create a file and save it as a template for future starting point.


> ./.config/frescobaldi
> ./.config/frescobaldi/frescobaldi.conf

This last file is Frescobaldi's configuration file on Linux, storing the same data as does the Windows registr.
However, you are not intended to manually edit this file, except to fix things that have gone wrong for whatever reason.

>
> Is it possible to modify the wizard in Linux?

What exactly is it you want to "modify"?
Everything you showed in the Windows registry it configurable, but not by editing the configuration, but from within the dialog/wizard itself.

Urs

regarding Kevin's post about

/frescobaldi_app/scorewiz/

no such directories
/frescobaldi_app
or
scorewiz/
on my machine perhaps because I am on Linux Mint 18 or frescobaldi 2.18.1?

But thank you so very much for the other information Kevin and Soundfromsounds (PS I did watch all your helpful tutorial videos even if they don't show in my knowledge)

Thank you all so very much!

Oh well I tried

i downloaded

lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh

from this

 
button
at

http://lilypond.org/development.html

I tried to upgrade using Synaptic package Manager but that only showed 2.18.2 which i have installed.

So, I read up on sh files and got this far

sudo sh lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh --help
lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond tarball
Options
  --batch             no interaction
  --doc               [attempt to] download and install documentation
  --prefix PREFIX     install into PREFIX/lilypond (default: /usr/local)
  --help              this help
  --tarball           extract tar file for archive

perhaps I am just one step away but I am willing to wait for confirmation if I am supposed to type this:

sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond tarball
 
or

sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond --tarball

or

sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh -tarball

one last attempt

sudo pip install --upgrade lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64

gave me this error message
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64
removing the -1.linux-64 didn't help one bit either.

Thank you so very much for your help...
