. . . a somewhat unrelated question: In the creation
of a PDF output
file, LilyPond creates an intermediate PostScript file. That
PostScript file is sometimes viewable using gv and sometimes it gives
some errors. But it never prints on any printer I tried it on
(several HP models, Gestetner/Ricoh, Xerox) - always either no pages
at all, or some error message about some fonts. Is the PostScript
output at all meant to be publishable/printable? It would be
convenient if for printing the sheets I could just print the
PostScript output to the printer directly, instead of having to go
through the PDF.
My question is: can one dispense with
the Postscript file altogether? I just use the pdf and always delete the
ps file.
Is there a way to save a step and processing
time by just not producing the ps file in the first place?
PS Thanks for a great application. In
a fairly short time I am able to enter music faster with LP than with any
of the graphical software I've tried.
That it's more flexible and prettier
goes without saying.
