27;m currious, what's the command line lilypond tries to generate the

demonstrates the kind of mechanism that LilyPond needs. (But without
needing such a script). It fixes the "line

It depends on whether your GhostScript looks in the current directory first.
Lily should do PDF. Period.

Yes.
It is one of the reasons I keep saying that LilyPond should eliminate
PostScript (and hence GhostScript) and generate PDF directly
