No it does not take exclusive ownership - it does have the refresh 
option. but the deal breaker for me is that it does not have the status 
bar at the bottom of the window. When I cursor over a note there is 
nothing to show what line of code that not lives in. I've tested at 
least a dozen different pdf readers and not a single one has both of 
those features. So other than the suggestion of using ghostscript and 
gsview I don't see using lily in windows as viable.

So that leaves me with running lily on linux which works perfectly, but 
running my music on the windows box because there program I use in 
windows for transcribing is not available for linux. So I have to switch 
machines a lot while working on transcriptions, which is a big 
annoyance, at best.
