I disagree. You can't click on links in a PDF file without involving a viewer, so calling the problem viewer-independent does not make any sense. For example, I use Emacs as an editor. Using xpdf as PDF viewer, point-and-click works for me. Using Evince, it doesn't. That's hardly viewer-independent behavior. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
