Yes absolutely, this is the alternative that I decided to follow when discover the issue with the temporary file name! > Given what I see so far I would do the following: > > - Save the LilyPond code to some explicit file > - Have a Frescobaldi snippet with keyboard shortcut that will trigger > some external script and pass that script the file name. > - This external script can do everything you need with the LilyPond > code. > > Is that suggestion of any help? > Yes Urs this is exactly what I intended to do. I'm not yet there so I didn't yet check the relative documentation. But I would appreciate if you could give me some hints for later about the following things: - How to make a frescobaldi snippet run an external application - How can I put some text in the clipboard using a snippet? Thank you, g.
