I seem to recall getting some sort of cryptic "permission denied" error when trying to compile foo.ly while foo.pdf was still open. That was usually enough to remind me to close the pdf, but it wasn't particularly informative. So I'm not opposed to having some sort of conformation, but a simple "\nDone.\n" would suffice. Presumably the return of the "$" prompt should signal completion as Han-Wen implies, but of course not every user is at a command prompt: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2009-07/msg00678.html I have vague memories of being confused on Windows, not using a command line (double-clicking my file icon). If I recall, the only output I could find was the resulting log file, and I often felt under-informed whenever the process would hang. - Mark _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
