Re: website draft 4, help wanted

I posted my previous message before you posted yours.

Generally speaking, when it comes to Windows documentation - it is almost always dummy proof. Showing every step one might come across during the process. It applies to XP as that is what I use, should apply equally to NT and 2000. Never seen ME, does anyone actually use it? Vista has the same steps but a different control panel. I don't have a Vista machine to get the exact steps.
Regards,
Chip

Thanks!

I added this to the page, but are you certain you need all those
steps, and/or are you certain the explanation needs to be as
verbose as it is?  I would expect most windows users to be
familiar with things like accepting a license agreement or
clicking the Next button.

Also, is the first step true for all of ME, NT, 2000, XP, and
Vista?

Cheers,
- Graham

I noticed on the new site that the section Windows/Packages/Install and  
Uninstall needs to be written, so I did that. I uninstalled my Lily and  
downloaded and installed the latest version. The text file is attached.
Hope this helps,
Chip

Here it is:
http://percival-music.ca/blogfiles/out/lilypond-general_1.html#Home

- would somebody volunteer to do the Examples already?!?!  all you
  need to do is play with lilypond files.  No texinfo, html, or
  git required.  Guidelines on the Examples page.
... Mao, I expected that I'd need to arbitrate fights amongst you
guys as to who got to do this...

- I'd also like somebody to do the Features page, but I admit this
  would be better done by somebody with a small amount of texinfo
  knowledge.  That said, there weren't be much formatting on the
  page, so if somebody sends me a plaintext file with a few
  images, I'll be happy.

- anybody know python and/or perl?  We have some scripting /
  script modifying tasks.

These are also listed on the "Help us" page.


Cheers,

- Installing Lilypond -

- Download the latest package of Lilypond at 
http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/mingw/lilypond-2.12.2-1.mingw.exe

- Locate the downloaded file and double-click on it to start the installer. You will be presented a window titled "Open File - Security Warning", click on Run to continue.

- You will be presented the License Agreement, read if desired, and click on the Next button.

- Preferably leave the destination folder to the default, else browse to choose a different location, and click on the Next button.

- Next is the Installation Options window, leave the three options checked, as you will want to have all of these installed. Click on the Next button.

- Installation now commences, wait a minute or less for installation to complete. There is a Show Details button that when clicked on will show all the files installed and where, nothing you necessarily need to look at. Click on the Finish button. Lilypond is now installed.

- Optional -

Install a good editor with Lilypond support built in - JEdit is a fine application, is free (open source) and has very good Lilypond integration.


- Uninstalling Lilypond -

There are two uninstallation routes -

1. Choose Uninstall from the Lilypond menu from the start menu
2. Open your Install/Uninstall Applications on the Control Panel, scroll down to Lilypond and click on the Uninstall buttom.
