I've always thought it a real shame that the
standard set of messages from lilypond left you with a nagging sense of
uncertainty whether it had actually completed or not. Typically, you would see this: $ Lilypond Exsultate.ly GNU LilyPond 2.13.15 Processing `Exsultate.ly' Parsing... Interpreting music... Preprocessing graphical objects... Solving 1 page-breaking chunks...[1: 1 pages] Drawing systems... Layout output to `Exsultate-Allegro.ps'... Converting to `./Exsultate-Allegro.pdf'... Interpreting music... Preprocessing graphical objects... Solving 1 page-breaking chunks...[1: 1 pages] Drawing systems... Layout output to `Exsultate-Andante.ps'... Converting to `./Exsultate-Andante.pdf'... $ The program's told you it started converting .ps to the .pdf, but gives you no indication how it completed. I've attached a patch to do this: $ Lilypond Exsultate.ly GNU LilyPond 2.13.17 Processing `Exsultate.ly' Parsing... Interpreting music... Preprocessing graphical objects... Solving 1 page-breaking chunks...[1: 1 pages] Drawing systems... Layout output to `Exsultate-Allegro.ps'... Converting to `./Exsultate-Allegro.pdf'... Interpreting music... Preprocessing graphical objects... Solving 1 page-breaking chunks...[1: 1 pages] Drawing systems... Layout output to `Exsultate-Andante.ps'... Converting to `./Exsultate-Andante.pdf'... success: Compilation successfully completed $ If there were any problems found the last line says warning: Compilation completed with warnings or errors It's available for review on rietveld http://codereview.appspot.com/736041 Cheers, Ian Hulin |
