lilypond-usage: Command-line usage
1.2 Command-line usage
======================
This section contains extra information about using LilyPond on the
command-line. This may be desirable to pass extra options to the
program. In addition, there are certain extra ‘helper’ programs (such
as ‘midi2ly’) which are only available on the command-line.
By ‘command-line’, we mean the command line in the operating system.
Windows users might be more familiar with the terms ‘DOS shell’ or
‘command shell’. MacOS X users might be more familiar with the terms
‘terminal’ or ‘console’. Some additional setup is required for MacOS X
users; please see (lilypond-web)MacOS X.
Describing how to use this part of an operating system is outside the
scope of this manual; please consult other documentation on this topic
if you are unfamiliar with the command-line.
