Hi Richard, It worked, compiling score and 5 parts into a pdf 1.8MB in size. Congratulations!(I downloaded Ghostscript and it went into the place Edit Preferences pointed to and after that it was simple enough. The information came through that I was adding pages, and the number incremented properly too.)

There is no "gswin64c.exe" in the download.Yes, you have to install it as a separate program (as you do with inkscape). I tried pointing the Edit->Change Preferences->Externals-ghostscript to gs.exe which *is* packaged with the binary (forLilyPond's use) but either I have messed my version of it up with my experimentation or (more likely) it needs some environment variables set for it to work. (You could test it out on your untarnished download). Bottom line though: install ghostscript for windows and if you install to the default place it should then work out of the box. (Otherwise adjust the ghostscript pref).

It is there as part of the LilyPond which is also built from source, but it may well need some environment variables set to get it going, which LilyPond will be taking care of. After a hard battle I've got the export of a book of layouts working on a windows laptop using a installed version of ghostscript; I've not tested it on the internal version, but it would be worth doing that. You choose what to use in Edit->Change Preferences->ghostscript putting the full path to gswin64c.exe should work. Remarkably, despite all assurances in chatter on the internet ghostscript was barfing on the windows backslash path separator, I had to switch them to forward slashes to get it working. It will be built tonight as usual. RichardJoe System Invocation Name Unix gs VMS gs MS Windows 95 and later gswin32.exe gswin32c.exe gswin64.exe gswin64c.exe OS/2 gsos2
