Installation

The most recent OLy version can always be found at the top of the Download page. (You can also look at the Releases page.)

In LibreOffice,

  • open the extension manager (Tools -> Extension Manager),

  • click the "Add" button which will open a file dialog,

  • select the *.oxt file you've just downloaded,

  • confirm with the "Open" button.

  • When asked for whom you want to install the extension, you can choose "only for me" which won't require administrator privileges on your system.

  • After successful installing, close the extension manager.

  • Probably you will now be requested to restart LibreOffice.

After restarting, LibreOffice will have a new "OLy" toolbar in Writer, Draw and Impress. It contains an "OLy" button that launches the extension.
(The "Batch" button will only appear in Writer. It is discussed in a later chapter: Advanced features - Batch processing)

OLy button

  • By the way: Please make sure that you have LilyPond installed on your Computer. ;-)

Congratulations - you are now ready for the next chapter: Tutorial.
