Thanks for this. I have tried
start denemoprint.pdf

on a windows vista box and it works. And, in fact,

start denemoprint.ly

successfully ran lilypond on the file.

On my Debian default setup, open failed with:

Could not get a file descriptor referring to the console

which is presumably the problem you are referring to. The gnome-open
command worked.

How should we make use of this? One of the wrinkles is that on windows
if the viewer is not closed the file it is viewing cannot be re-written,
so subsequent print attempts fail.
