The scripts do essentially the same thing. The only thing I was trying to do was allow for normal lilypond command line arguments also. The sed line is a hack to pull out all but the last argument. It will break if the last argument is quoted and has a space in it. -----Jay P.S. I didn't know basename took a second argument to chop off the extension. Neat. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
