Sorry if I’m wrong, but can’t you type anything you like into
Frescobaldi’s Engrave (Custom) command line window? Something like:
python ~/scripts/myLilypondScript.py $filename
...should run the script and pass it the filename, however that works in Python.
The command line window is of course expecting a command to run
LilyPond. The flexibility of changing the command that is executed is
thought for custom LilyPond calls. But as I understand it any command
would be executed. The advantage is that you can make use of the
shortcut $filename for the current document. Otherwise it's hard to see
any benefits of that approach, I think.
There are two issues I have at the moment- one is that it doesn’t seem
to be possible to direct Lilypond output to stdout (Postscript in my
case for piping to Ghostscript with lots of special options), and the
second is that Frescobaldi forgets the custom command every time it
quits, so you have to store it elsewhere.
The ability to save a custom commands could perhaps be argued. At the
moment the command is construed by the other settings.
To catch the stdout message I think the best approach is to run the
python script as a Snippet and to add the functionality to handle this.
