And now that users want some good news "successful completion" messages, we still want it to be separate from the program output on stdout. I still want to use : \displayLilyMusic \transpose f d \relative c' { \key des\major des\p\< f as des\f } c:\> lilypond test > transposed_motif.ly > > Questions for those involved: What does Lilypond currently put on stdout ? The output of \displayLilyMusic and \displayMusic; anything else? _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
