Re: Output other than PDF

[Brett Duncan]

Many thanks to those who responded.

It turns out that I had a case of brainfade - I had put the shell script 
that came with Lilypond where it could be triggered by LilyTool in 
jEdit, but not in a directory that was in $PATH. Hence a call to 
lilypond from the command line did nothing.

FWIW, even though I'm now able to call Lilypond from the command line 
and specify PNG output, I think that enabling the GUI version on Mac to 
let the user select the output format could be a useful addition. I have 
some other Mac users interested in Lilypond, partly because the output 
formats in some other (well known) scoring applications have not been 
totally satisfactory, but these are guys not used to command line apps, 
and the PDF format is somewhat limiting if you want to use your output 
with other applications.
