I'm using Lilypond 2.6.3 on Mac OS X 10.4. When I compile
an .ly file, it shows the PDF in OS X's Preview application.
If I then make changes to the file and compile it again, it
pops up Preview but Preview doesn't reload the PDF file. If
I want to see my changes, I need to close the Preview window
and either re-open it by hand or ask Lilypond to compile once
again.
This is a frequently reported Preview problem. I think I have
reported it to Apple.
If you run LilyPond from Terminal, then you can move to the directory
where th .ly file is, and type
/usr/local/bin/lilypond <name>.ly && open <name>.pdf
When you see that the .ps file has been created, click to close the
open PDF file. If you miss the timing, close the PDF file, and type
in Terminal
open <name>.pdf
When you have typed this once in Terminal, use the keyboard up and
down arrows to get the earlier typed command lines.
One could in principle close the PDF files using AppleScript
commands, but I do not know how to do it, or if Preview supports it.
