Why do you need tex output?Thanks for your answer. What I find interesting in TeXT/LaTeX based tools is "interactivity". I mean that when you modify the source program and recompile it, you can see the result in a dvi window without recalling xdvi (the xdvi window must only be hidden during compilations). With lilypond, I think it would also be faster to see the result of modifications through the ly -> dvi output than by recalling ghostview or acrobat reader after each compilation. At least, that is what I tried to verify :)This has to do with the viewer. In gv, you can press 'Reload' after each recompile; this is also done automatically if you wait for a long time. It's possible that there is a ps viewer out there, which automatically updates the view at once when a file changes on disk (just like xdvi does), but I haven't seen one.
In gv, select State -> Watch File, or start it with gv --watch myfile.ps /Mats
