Ok. Since exportlilypond is sensitive to selection should I write  
something to save the selection, print, then reinstate the selection?  
Is unselecting all good enough?

I like the idea of a script checking to see if everything is  
terminated. Would this call be a call out to guile from c or would it  
somehow be better if the entire printing process be scripted? The only  
thing done in c would be exportlily. Is there a need for that much  
flexibility?

Did we at one time have a way to do save png files by selecting from  
the print preview pane and then selecting save somewhere. Maybe I  
immagined that. I just thought that that could replace the print  
excerpt if so.
