Yeah, I've noticed that with other software (like wget), when the
manpage gives an option as --option=setting, it's usually better for
me to just replace the = with a space.
Baileys are awesome!

Thanks to all Baileys!
I am pretty sure, I got an error with earlier releases when trying
to output to a nonexisting folder - but be it as it is (or was)!
what counts is to have a stable behaviour from now on.
for me personnally I will just produce default output and maybe in
another step I will move files to other directories or I will simply
use a filter in my explorer.
btw: I tried the version replacing the equal sign by a space and it
also works under windows...

new behaviour with version 2.11.44 (windows xp)
IIRC, when invoking lilypond, the option --output=folder directed
all output
files to the specific folder.
Now this has changed: If I run "lilypond --output=myOutput C:
\myFile.ly" and
there is no folder called "myOutput" I get 2 files:
myOutput.pdf and myOutput.ps in the folder where lilypond was
running,
but if a folder exists with the name "myOutput" I get 2 files:
\myOutput\myFile.pdf and \myOutput\myFile.ps in that folder
what's the logic or intention?
iirc, this was always the way lily handled the output option.
indeed, looking at the documentation for lily 2.1, the command
line option --ouptut=FILE is described: "Set the default output
file to FILE."
after running across this once or twice in larger projects i had
an alias set up which checked if my default output directory
exists and made it otherwise, then called lilypond. (btw, lilypond
2.11.42 [on mac] shows the same behaviour as you describe above).
regards,
sb

on a macintosh, at least, omitting the "=" solves the problem
