Lilypond Editing Environments and output file names

[ian_hulin]

This is a heads up for those like Bert and Wilbert who write editing
support environments for Lilypond.

I currently have a patch in for review which will allow Lily to redirect
the backend output to another file for particular \book blocks.
Currently you do this by setting environment variables like output-suffix.

I've noticed that LilypondTool and Frescobaldi can get fooled using
their internal pdf viewers about where the successfully compiled output is.

I wonder if you editor guys can take an enhancement to make your PDF
viewers sensitive to the code writing the final format to a different
file name?

Tracker no is 836, Patch code is at
http://codereview.appspot.com/143055/show if you want to see what's there.

Hope this helps you to keep your Lilypond layered projects ready for
2.14.  (If my patch gets through, that is).

Cheers,
Ian

It is no problem to implement, Frescobaldi will probably implement support for
this as soon as it reaches stable LilyPond and is documented.

Currently Frescobaldi looks for files with the same basename and "globs" for
possible suffixes.
