[Mac OS X 10.4.4 ; Lilypond Version 2.7.35-1 (Build from 30-12-2005
19:17) ]
Hello, all!
On many (especially time-sensitive) projects, I prefer to do my fine
tweaks in Illustrator -- I find that fast tweaking directly in
Lilypond is essentially impossible, given the multiple-try-and-
compile-cycle process required for almost every tweak. [Fortunately,
the basic Lilypond output is so great that the tweaks are minor and
can be done quite quickly in Illustrator.]
Unfortunately, it's no simple job to get Illustrator to recognize my
Lilypond output as "clean" PostScript! [Likely this is an Adobe
problem, not you guys -- however, I'm stuck trying to find a
workaround anyway, and would appreciate any assistance...]
On single-page scores, I can use ps2ps to convert, and that seems to
leave a useable file (i.e., Illustrator reads it). However, on multi-
page scores, it only reads the first page. If I pull an arbitrary
page directly from the PDF output, all of the non-note font
information goes kablooey, so I have to reenter all scripts, etc.,
which is far too time-consuming in many cases.
So, I guess my questions are these...
1. Is there a way to have all Lilypond fonts (feta, feta-alphabet,
etc.) available as PostScript fonts for Illustrator to use
"natively"? If so, where can I get these fonts, or the information on
how to convert the existing ones?
2. If #1 cannot be solved, is there a way to use ps2ps (or
equivalent) to split my Lilypond output file into separate PS pages?
Or maybe have Lilypond output each page as a separate file?
3. Is there a better solution than those I've suggested, to get what
I want/need?
Thanks!
Kieren.
