Comment #2 on issue 1429 by address@hidden: Microsoft Windows version should not show Ghostscript window
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1429

Be aware though that *if* this call is causing the pop-up cmd window to occur and we remove that, there is no way for a user to know if the compile has failed or not, and for every single compile the user would have to manually open the log file to check. This is tedious with many small incremental changes.

This is not an issue with CLI, or MacOS where the log window pops up and runs interactively and is left open for a user to clearly see the compile message, with windows there is absolutely no other indicator that the compile has worked until this cmd window pops up and dissappears.

So while this may not be desirable, the side effect is *very* useful.
