Re: lilybook error ?

[karim haddad]

Dear Mats

Great!
Just to say that indeed it worked pretty fine using :

lilypond-book --output=out --pdf foo.tex

instead of :

lilypond-book --output=out --psfonts foo.tex

My problem as you say, might be due very probably to memory. In fact  
my pdf document is up to 90 pages.
using pdf option instead of psfonts is better, and faster, no errors.

Thanx a lot again for your help.

Best
Karim
