LilyPondTool

[Gerard McConnell]

Hello,

when I use the following line in the console:

%lilypond -dbackend=svg %buffer

I'm guessing that 1. I'm calling LilyPond 2. sending it

an argument (or parameter?) and 3. telling LilyPond to

process the file in the buffer.   What exactly is the %?

I presume that I can replace %buffer with a path to some

 file, but for instance if I enter:

%lilypond -dbackend=svg "c:\documents and setting\dad\desktop\musicpages\bella.ly"

I get a:

warning: cannot find file: 'etc'.

Finally, is it possible for me to direct the output to a

specific folder?

By the way, the svg output from 2.12.2 is already great,

it's hard to imagine how it has been improved for 2.14.

Thanks,

Gerard
