This isn't a bug, so I wanted to post it here first -- see what other people think.
If I compile a PDF with LilyPond and open it with Adobe Reader, then run LilyPond again, I get this error: ---------------- Converting to `./pictures-at-an-exhibition-all.pdf'... warning: `(gs -q -dNOSAFER -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595.28 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=841.89 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r1200 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=./pictures-at-an-exhibition-all.pdf -c.setpdfwrite -fpictures-at-an-exhibition-all.ps)' failed (1) fatal error: failed files: "C:/Users/Knute/Documents/GitHub/The-Mutopia-Project/ftp/MussorgskyM/pictures-at-an-exhibition/pictures-at-an-exhibition-lys/ pictures-at-an-exhibition-all.ly" Exited with return code 1. ------------------------------ Now I'm a programmer, and I can figure out that this that this is GhostScript failing to convert the PS file to PDF, because I have it open and it needs to close it and recreate it. But it took me a while. For those non-programmer LilyPoders, I would think a better error message is in order. Maybe LilyPond can check if the PDF exists and try to close or delete it. Any other thoughts? Knute Snortum (via Gmail)
