Re: Lilypond PDF links in TexShop (Mac OS)

[Michael Seifert]

        Dear Jacques,

        TeXShop is already the default application for .ly files on my system.  
Double-clicking on an .ly file in the finder opens it in TeXShop;  but clicking 
on the link in the PDF within TeXShop opens up LilyPond.  
        Are you saying that the PDF links open TexShop on your system?  If so, 
that gives me hope that this is possible after all.

        Take care,

        Mike
