No. Temporary PS file will be created in the temporary directory, instead of current directory. If you set delete-intermediate-file to ##f, lilypond will not delete the temporary file in the temporary directory. > Background: > I'm often compiling LY files using this option, because besides the PDF > created by lilypond I create another file from data in the PS file (in a > batch process after lilypond has been executed) - and I start up to 8 > lilypond processes for parallel execution if I want to 'update' all PDFs of > a lilypond project. When you want both PDF and PS files, I recommend the following command. $ lilypond --pdf --ps <name>.ly _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
