Subject: Re: lilypond-windows.exc vs lilypond-exc


There is lilypond.exe and lilypond-windows.exe in the Lilypond edition
for Microsoft Windows.
You use lilypond.exe when you want to capture the output of the
program, e.g. error messages.
lilypond-windows.exe opens a new window, outputs the messages in this
windows and closes it finally.I usually make mistakes and want to see
the messages, so I use always lilypond.exe

Helge

This is covered quite nicely in the documentation:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage

"Note to Windows users: By default lilypond.exe outputs all progress information to the command window,lilypond-windows.exe does not and returns a prompt, with no progress information, immediately at the command line. The'-dgui' option can be used in this case to redirect output to a log file."
