Hmm, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of error messages?
I mean, by this you are HIDING the error messages, too. The current
problem
with the make output is that a plethora of useless progress messages are
hiding those few error messages that would be really useful to be seen.
Hiding all error messages together with the progress messages is throwing
out
the baby with the bath water (as we say here in German).
I can't say I disagree. As it stands, however, my initial goal is to get
the output down to a readable amount full stop - if that means discarding a
few error messages thrown by LilyPond in compiling lily files to create midi
files, I'm not sure I'd be too worried. It's trivial to reduce the redirect
to output information only, and once again show errors on the terminal.
