Shouldn't this be rather done with prerequisites, variable substitutions and 
some generic rules?
I'm attaching one of my makefiles, which is not perfect, either, but it works 
very well for my scores.

It really depends on the viewer. I'm using okular and it reloads the PDF file 
when it has changed, so starting another instance is just annoying... 
Having to use a make variable on the command line to get sane behavior is even 
more annoying.
