Why do you need tex output?
Thanks for your answer.
What I find interesting in TeXT/LaTeX based tools is "interactivity". I
mean that when you
modify the source program and recompile it, you can see the result in a
dvi window without
recalling xdvi (the xdvi window must only be hidden during
compilations). With lilypond, I
think it would also be faster to see the result of modifications through
the ly -> dvi output
than by recalling ghostview or acrobat reader after each compilation. At
least, that is
what I tried to verify :)
This has to do with the viewer. In gv, you can press 'Reload' after each
recompile; this is also done automatically if you wait for a long time. It's
possible that there is a ps viewer out there, which automatically updates the
view at once when a file changes on disk (just like xdvi does), but I haven't
seen one.
In gv, select State -> Watch File, or start it with
gv --watch myfile.ps
