       Play-enjoy[with command-line and LilyPond]   







    If you are new to LilyPond, I recommend getting familiar with it using "copilot" on Windows OS.
           However, I think the "ly-code (example of manuscript file description)" is an example using lilypond version "2.26.0".


    If you're not using a text editor.
    Use a Word Processor!!    Write LilyPond code (musical expression) in LibreOffice/OpenOffice.



    cf;         If this is your first time using HTML,
            HTML Tutorial!!            Easy Learning with HTML   Click on "Try it Yourself"(just below the example)



    cf;
    More than the installation method described on this page.
    Whether you're using a Windows OS environment or a WSL-setting environment,
    if you ask "Copilot" about installing LilyPond, TeXLive, etc., they'll give you perfect instructions.
    ---- I recommend it (more than explanations from others or elsewhere). ----

    You can use multiple of these. Windows OS(wsl)-----Debian Linux(wsl)----Ubuntu-26.04 You will need the same files—such as install-tl-unx.tar.gz and lilypond-2.26.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz—for each environment.



    You can learn how to manage multiple Linux instances by using "Copilot" , and >wsl --help[Entr](on Windows OS).


    Under the Linux(wsl)----Ubuntu-26.04 amd Windows OS(wsl)-----Debian environment,
    For example, executing the following commands On Windows OS(wsl)-----Debian   cmd.exe---->wsl.exe --terminate Debian[Enter] and
      cmd.exe---- >wsl.exe --set-default Ubuntu-26.04[Enter]
    switches the environment from Debian to Ubuntu-26.04.
