Re: Fw: Help needed - missing .pdf file after running lilypond sucessfully.

[neuro黃學仁]

Dear Dr. Tsang


You might want to check out
lilypond --help

Actually, I have met similar, (or more precisely, reverse,) problems
when I run 2.13.33 last month.

It seems, lilypond have output a pdf file, without a ps file as the ps
file was converted to pdf, when I run 2.13.33 last month, as
lilypond musicfile.ly
(The output files shoud be both ps and pdf, in my expectation.)

So, to specifically assign the output to be a ps file, according to the --help,
I run
lilypond -f --ps musicfile.ly

So, you might want to run
lilypond -f --pdf musicfile.ly
for specifically assign the pdf in your situation.

options are
-f --ps
-f --pdf
-f --png


good luck ^_^
