Re: my favorite bug :-)

Observing all the energy devoted to this critical issue, I have to wonder how many extraordinary symphonies, operas, and cantatas will NOT be written because some folks are too easily distracted by minutia....

I could live 5 lifetimes, and this issue would never get more than 5 seconds of my time, if I even every encountered it.

Where, or where, have I gone wrong....

Hi,

this little (simplified) shell script (I have called it ly2pdf)

#!/bin/sh
INFILE="$1"
OUTFILE=${INFILE%.ly}.pdf
lilypond --ps -o $$ "$INFILE"
ps2pdf $$.ps "$OUTFILE"
rm -f $$.ps

demonstrates the kind of mechanism that LilyPond needs. (But without needing such a script). It fixes the "lines.ly" issue, and it fixes accidentally and brutally deleting an already existing xxxx.ps file.

(With "simplified" I mean: you can not use any options or multiple files on the commandline with this script. It's just a demo)
