Hi Andrew, Thanks for this. I think I may have miswritten.

I'm saying that the **NON-TEMP** file — sitting on the "regular" part of the drive, right next to the saved Lilypond source file(s) — is the one that stops updating in Skim [with the 'check for file changes' and 'reload automatically' preferences checked]. The only reason I then go to the temp file is because the updates on the **NON-TEMP** file stopped happening. I’m *not* using the temp file as my "primary viewing file". > I am unable to duplicate your problem. As I perhaps didn’t explain well enough, there is an *indeterminate* period of time that passes from the [re]starting of Frescobaldi to the time that the non-temp output PDF file corresponding to a given Lilypond file stops updating. Perhaps helpfully (?), if I'm compiling two or more Lilypond score files, they don’t all suddenly stop updating their respective PDFs at the same time. It’s a very unusual bug, in my opinion.
