Configuration

When first run, Abjad creates an .abjad directory in your own $HOME directory. In $HOME/.abjad you will find the Abjad configuration file: config.py. Here you can tell Abjad about your preferred PDF file viewer, MIDI player, your preferred LilyPond language, etc. All relevant variables have defaults that you can change to suit your needs. In Linux, for example, you might want to set your pdfviewer to evince and your midiplayer to timidity.

config.py is a regular Python file, so you should make sure the file follows Python syntax.
