You mean you use Terminal and not XDarwin?

I run Emacs from XDarwin (actually as a background task).  After saving
my changes I alt-tab to another Xterm where I run my Lily commands
(usually from up-arrow).  I have a background gv running for each part
or score I am working which I can also atl-tab to.  I never use Emacs
commands like compile.  I have discovered that crtl-L will refresh an
instance of gv.

To save time I also compile to PS (--ps).

I do the same thing on my Linus box.
