Re: What to use to edit output after the fact?

You can use the tool, pstoedit, which can be included in Ghostview. It exports to a variety of vector formats including wmf. Some filters are shareware, though. Another option is to find an old version of Corel Draw, sometimes they very inexpensive. I have Corel 7. Good luck, Eduardo -

Re: What to use to edit output after the fact?

Inkscape is the closest thing I know of, but I've had trouble with it on Mac OS X with Lilypond PDFs. On the other hand, Illustrator is quite cheap if you are affiliated with an academic institution. I got a stand-alone copy for under $90 through Yale. A friend of mine got the entire

What to use to edit output after the fact?

I've been using Lilypond to do all the homework for my composition class. Of course, I was happy with a lot of the output, so I deleted the source files. (Yeah, yeah, I know, never delete anything...) Now I find that I want to change the file, so I thought I'd just edit the postscript

I frequently use Illustrator as a post-Lilypond editor for musical graphics for theory handouts or papers, and I just use the PDF files which Lilypond outputs. The only issue I've run into (on Lilypond 2.6.x and Illustrator CS 2, Mac OS 10.3.8), aside from the fact that you can only edit
