Re: pid leakage in LilyPond

[James Lowe]

David,

As you would have probably seen in a subthread of this.

The Mac version actually does have the nice ability to not have to run 
lilypond as a CLI but uses hot-keys (cmd-s to save and cmd-r to compile, 
see the changes, make some edits in the inbuilt editor and then hit 
those two hot keys again new PDF) it's great! :)

So it is an application, but it is the lilypond.app itself.

You also don't have to keep closing the PDF file (like you do in 
windows) as preview (in built for the mac os) just re-displays the new 
changes rather than what windows does, which requires me to always close 
the PDF. Unless that's just my PDF viewer (I use foxit on Windows).
