I don't think the "-rf" on the "rm -rf \!:1.dvi" is necessary. I suppose it's safe enough, but seeing a "rm -rf" gave me a twinge or two. :) I've found it nicer to work entirely in X11, due to the way it handles window focus issues. Here's my script (creatively named "ly"): #!/bin/sh lilypond $1ly gv $1ps & ~/tim/timidity -c ~/tim/timidity.cfg -Ow $1midi esdplay $1wav This displays the postscript output in gv (which IMO has better keyboard control than Preview) and plays the midi file.
