Re: where are the file created?

[Stu McKenzie via LilyPond User List]

    It would be useful to know where your source .ly file is, because
    Frescobaldi appears to be using your C:/Users/Owner/AppData folder
    for the temporary files.
    
    If you change the \BookOutputName to the same folder as your source
    .ly file, or a subfolder of that folder, you should find the output
    pdf files there.
    
    For example, if you change the bookOutputName to "C:/Output/" then
    both of the lines:
    
    \bookOutputName
"C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Local/Temp/frescobaldi-00ou83l6/tmp2xammvvc/Output/"
    become
    \bookOutputName
    "C:/Output/"
    
    The 2 pdf files should then be in C:/Output (or on Windows
    C:\Output).
    
    Alternatively, try outputting to the same folder as your source .ly
    file.

Good Morning Stu McKenzie,

I am using frecobaldi v3.3.0 & lilypond v2.25.18, The two files created are in the same folder of my source lily file.  However I cannot find the temp - it is not important as long as I find the two pdf created.

tkQ,

ming (lyndon) tsang.

Hi lilyponders,

 the following code generates two files according to the log.

%%%

\paper {
  output-filename = "my_special_output"
}

\book {
  \paper {
    output-suffix = "menuetto"
  }
  \score {    \relative { c''4 d e f }  }
}
\book {
  \paper {
    output-suffix = "scherzo"
  }
  \score {    \relative { f''4 e d c }  }
}

%%%

and the log as below:

%%

You may still use Frescobaldi with the following changes (I used LilyPond version 2.24.0):

% \version "2.24.0"
% Replace version string with the version in use.

%{
Comment out the first paper block
\paper {
  output-filename = "my_special_output"
}
%}

\book {
  \paper {
     \bookOutputName "C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Local/Temp/frescobaldi-00ou83l6/tmp2xammvvc/Output/"
    output-suffix = "menuetto"
  }
  \score {    \relative { c''4 d e f }  }
}
\book {
  \paper {
     \bookOutputName "C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Local/Temp/frescobaldi-00ou83l6/tmp2xammvvc/Output/"
    output-suffix = "scherzo"
  }
  \score {    \relative { f''4 e d c }  }
}

This should output to a subfolder of the original LilyPond source file.
The output may be directed to any folder that you choose, by changing the bookOutputName.
