foreign languages and caching bugs?

[Markian Hlynka]

Hi.

I've been looking for a music notation program that supports non- 
latin text. Finale and Sibelius are a hack and need to be re-written,  
so I'm looking elsewhere. As a computer geek, lilypond is somewhat  
appealing!

So, I've tried it out, but I've got a few issues. Specifically,  
updating the pdf doesn't seem to work correctly. When I typeset a  
file, the change does not show up in the pdf if it was already  
displayed. It seems that I have to close the file, and re-open the  
pdf manually. Is this a known issue? Could it be because I'm using  
non-latin text?

My system is Mac OS X 10.4.2, lillypond 2.6.4-1, and I'm using  
Preview to view the pdf (do I have a choice?)

How can I trace this down, please? And, does anyone else know if  
lillypond will work with non-english text? I'd attach a sample file,  
but I don't know if the list will accept attachments.

Thanks,

Markian
