Re: Rendering cropped SVG

[potoroo]

I'm not using any version control here. Notice that the pdf file is deleted 
correctly all the time, only the temporary ps file stays. And I'm not doing 
anything with the ps file after summoning Lilypond. I've used Lilypond before 
without having trouble with the temporary files. I guess I'll just install the 
developer version as suggested.
