Postscript is a turing-complete, full fledged programming language. Specific (and common) use-cases like drawing paths can be converted (by hand!), but for a general solution, you'd have to run the command through Ghostscript, dumping to PDF and then somehow translate the PDF back in to lilypond commands. It's not completely impossible, but a lot of work. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanw...@gmail.com - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
