Hi; Update: I'm using Emacs built for MacOS now, temporarily, over the emacs coming from homebrew. I have emacs running full screen. I have split the screen into two windows. The upper one now has my origin pdf (DocVew!) and my bottom window is the Lilypond source file. When I need to view

Hi Andrew, Sure this is an XY question, but the question for the OP is, in what way does outputting postscript simplify your workflow? What are you trying to achieve? If you look at this list and many others, people ask questions because they are puzzled or stumped, and may not always ask th

Well the OP said he wants to simplify his workflow. And of course there is no need to convert postscript to PDF because you can just use normal Lilypond output. And he said he wants to view the postscript. Sure this is an XY question, but the question for the OP is, in what way does outputting

HI JJ; I'll look into that, but I already installed xquartx, via homebrew, which provides an X11 environment. BTW, I've posted a query on stackoverflow; that is probably a better place than this as it does not directly involve Lilypond. Thanks, Ken On Tue, Aug 2, 2022 at 9:34 PM Jean-Julien
