"lilypond" outputs its messages to the standard error stream. So, if you use "bash" as a command interpreter, redirect stderr to a file: $ lilypond test1.ly 2> err.txt $ cat err.txt GNU LilyPond 2.10.33 Processing `test1.ly' Parsing... Interpreting music... [2] Preprocessing graphical objects... Layout output to `test1.ps'... Converting to `test1.pdf'...
