No, it will put it in the current directory (at least version 2.4.4)
Urgh. Even 2.9.17 does this - I have now reported this bug to them.
But view->pdf / view->dvi still works, I guess LyX is smart enough
to run lilypond in the /tmp directory in these cases?
Instantly viewing a .png in lyx certainly require a script though.
I'll do that.
Can you explain what the -b and -d arguments do? My version of
lilypond does
not have them.
The stable lilypond releases 2.6 and 2.8 both have -b.
Version 2.4 does not have it. Seems to me that trying to support
lilypond 2.4 is a bad idea, as 2.4 don't export pdf like 2.6 and 2.8 do.
Debian have lilypond 2.6, I don't know about other distributions, but
there will be some time until lyx-1.5 anyway?
I have two machines, one have lilypond 2.9 and the other will get 2.6
shortly.
This way I'll get something that works for old lilypond as well as
the development version. Hopefully this will also cover versions inbetween
and the upcoming release as well.
I hope supporting lilypond 2.4 isn't necessary, export/view->pdflatex
really like to include a .pdf file, which lilypond 2.6 and up provides.
