Re: generating pdf and png but no ps

[Jonathan Kulp]

Are you wondering what my lily2image project is about?  Well,

1) me learning how to script (biggest reason of all, probably, since 
this started out only as something I was going to use myself and evolved 
into something much more complicated)

2) creating musical examples (by which I mean images of music notation 
to insert in a document or web page) from lilypond source that are 
cropped properly (lilypond with png output does full pages)

3) being able to choose from variety of image output formats at the same 
moment as calling lilypond rather than having to convert them later;

4) being able to specify parameters with easy-to-remember flags instead 
of long options I have to look up in the documentation every time.

I suppose you could say it's a reinvention of the wheel, but this wheel 
rides more smoothly for me :)
