Re: Command line lilypond with -o

[Kevin Brown]

Sorry for not specifying version information.

I'm executing these from the /Applications/LilyPond.app directory so  
it's obvious what's going on.

Dualito:/Applications/LilyPond.app kevin$ ./Contents/Resources/bin/ 
lilypond -v
GNU LilyPond 2.10.0

So the post script file gets output to /tmp, but the pdf file ends up  
in the working directory.

In case you hadn't guessed yet:
Dualito:/Applications/LilyPond.app kevin$ uname -a
Darwin Dualito.local 8.8.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Mon Sep 25

That's OS X 10.4.8 on Intel.

Anyway, currently in my app I just have it executing an mv on the  
final pdf that pops out so it's not really much of an issue for me,  
but this shouldn't be that hard of a bug to fix, and I figure you'd  
rather have lilypond improve than not.  I am a developer and would be  
happy to help here if there's something I can do. :-)
