I don't see it in lilypond --help, so maybe you can't any more. I tried it, and I didn't think it was that great. Better to use options in your dircommand to ignore what you don't need to see. I am not the guru, but try a different subdirectory for each piece. What can it hurt? daveA -- Paying more at the gas pump?
