Have you got continuous typesetting turned on? (If you delete the print
view window it will be off, but set Continuous to manual anyway).

This is the score-checking command that is being run - you can use the
(d-Print) routine (IIRC) to access the primitive print routine without
any checking first.

this is what happens with Continuous set if you then do a Print
command...

Two names denemoprintA.pdf and denemoprintB.pdf are used on alternate
lilypond runs, to avoid file locking trouble.

That's ok, nothing deletes denemoprintA.pdf when LilyPond is running and
generating the B version.

perhaps this is all just confusion caused by manually starting print
while continuous is set. Maybe we need to detect this and prevent the
confusion?
