Re: Lilypond PDF links in TexShop (Mac OS)

[Michael Seifert]

        Dear Jacques,

        The attached .ly file produces the attached PDF when typeset on my 
machine.  Clicking on any one of the note heads then opens the Lilypond editor 
with the appropriate string highlighted;  I want it to open the file in TeXShop 
instead.

        I’ve included the PDF that my system generated in case you or someone 
might spot a malformed link or something like that.  The links in the attached 
PDF probably won’t work for you (or anyone else), since they contain explicit 
reference to my user directory on my local machine.  You’ll have to re-typeset 
the file on your machine to get the links to point to the appropriate filename. 
 

        Thanks for your assistance,

        Mike
