Hi Gerard and Edward, I guess the reasoning is: if you don't save the input ly file, you are probably not doing something persistent but just an interactive test. Then the pdf is stored in /tmp because it needs to be stored somewhere to be displayed in Frescobaldi. Both the input and the output only exist as long as the program is open.
If it is meant to be persistent, you probably save the ly file in order to be able to modify the score later. And then you get the pdf in the same place by default. I never had the need for something in between these two options, but you seem to. Urs' mail was probably more helpful, I just wanted to add this. Cheers, Joram _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
