Re: Using lilypond-windows with local ghostscript

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's certainly possible, just make sure that you copy of Ghostscript
is placed before C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\ in the PATH
environment variable and that the executable is called gs.exe. However, 
you should note that the Ghostscript included in the LilyPond package 
is fairly recent (GPL 8.50) and also includes
(as far as I know) some patches to fix bugs, see 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/topdocs/INSTALL.html
