This has to do with the viewer. In gv, you can press 'Reload' after each recompile; this is also done automatically if you wait for a long time. It's possible that there is a ps viewer out there, which automatically updates the view at once when a file changes on disk (just like xdvi does), but I haven't seen one. -- Erik _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
