Re: Rendering cropped SVG

[potoroo]

Thanks, that works. I set up a build system for Sublime (which has Lilypond 
syntax highlighting with the SubLilyPond package).

{
        "shell_cmd": "lilypond -dno-point-and-click '$file_base_name.ly'; 
pdfcrop --margins 1 '$file_base_name.pdf' '$file_base_name.pdf'; pdf2svg 
'$file_base_name.pdf' '$file_base_name.svg'; rm -f '$file_base_name.pdf'; rm -f 
'$file_base_name.ps'",
        "selector": "source.lilypond",
}

This will render and crop a pdf, convert it to svg and delete the pdf. However, 
I don't know why it won't remove the .ps file, or why it is created in the 
first place. Is there a way to prevent Lilypond from creating the .ps file?
