Brett,I am also using Lilypond on Mac OS X. The Python script is how you run Lilypond in the terminal as well. Open a terminal and type
lilypond -hIf you get the Lilypond help output, then you're all set to use Lilypond in the terminal with commands from Chapter 5. (If not, see the README instructions for correctly configuring it) For example, to generate a PNG at a resolution of 200, you enter
lilypond --png --dresolution=200 filename.lyThis should produce a PNG instead of a PDF. There is also an option for PS.

Specifically, I want PNG, but PS would also be useful. Obviously I can't use the GUI to achieve this, so I'm assuming (hoping) that there is a way to invoke Lilypond via the command line in Terminal that will let me specify the output format I want. Can anyone clear this up for me?See chapter 5, 'Running LilyPond'Sorry, that doesn't help - I'm using the GUI application on Mac OS X, not a version that runs from the command line.The ReadMe file that came with the installer provides a shell script that uses Python to call Lilypond, and I've been able to use this in conjunction with jEdit, but I don't know how I would modify this script to get different output formats.Brett _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list address@hidden http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
