Or you could use the -dgui argument to lilypond.
Thanks for your response,
I have tried lilypond -dgui filename.ly but
GNU LilyPond 2.12.3
STILL appears on the screen (even though all other (error)
text goes to filename.log)
Now,
lilypond -dhelp advises that
lilypond -dlog-file FOO filename.ly would write output to
FOO.log.
But this does not work - it says cannot find file FOO.
No amount of operating system redirecting stops output to the
screen.
There must be some way to output ALL output (stout,stderr,
any ) to a file.
Then I'm not sure. Isn't there some way, in windows, to check what
arguments are used when you drag a file to a shortcut? Apart from that,
according to the lilypond source, it will only print out the version
string if stdin is a terminal. So perhaps you could get it to go away by
providing a different stdin.
By the way, you're best off copying future responses to the mailing
list, as people there may know better than me.
Cheers,
Joe
