1.1.1 Scheme sandbox
The LilyPond installation includes the Guile implementation of
Scheme. On most systems you can experiment in a Scheme sandbox by
opening a terminal window and typing ‘guile’. On some systems,
notably Windows, you may need to set the environment variable
GUILE_LOAD_PATH to the directory ../usr/shr/guile/1.8
in the LilyPond installation. For the full path to this directory
see
Other sources of information. Alternatively, Windows
users may simply choose ‘Run’ from the Start menu and enter
‘guile’.
However, a hands-on Scheme sandbox with all of Lilypond loaded is available with this command line:
lilypond scheme-sandbox
Once the sandbox is running, you will receive a guile prompt:
guile> |
You can enter Scheme expressions at this prompt to experiment with Scheme.
