@item -o,--output=@var{file}
Generate output to @var{file}. The extension of @var{file} is ignored.
@item -P,--postscript
- Also generate PostScript output, using dvips.
-@item --preview
+ Also generate PostScript output, using dvips. The postscript uses
+the standard @TeX{} bitmap fonts for your printer.
+@item --pdf
+ Also generate Portable Document Format (PDF). This option will
+generate a PS file using scalable fonts, and will run the PS file
+through @code{ps2pdf} producing a PDF file.

+characters.
+
+ @item --preview
Also generate a picture of the first system of the score.
@item -s,--set=@var{key}=@var{val}
Add @var{key}= @var{val} to the settings, overriding those specified
@table @code
@item LANG
selects the language for the warning messages of Ly2dvi and LilyPond.
+
+@item GUILE_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE
+is an option for GUILE, the scheme interpreter; it sets the size of
+the chunks of memory allocated by GUILE. By increasing this from its
+default 8388608, the performance of LilyPond on large scores is
+slightly improved.

@code{input/test/boxed-molecule.ly} if you need boxes around the
marks.
+The @code{\mark} command can also be used to put signs like coda,
+segno and fermatas on a barline. The trick is to use the text markup
+mechanism to access the fermata symbol.

+
+The problem is that marks that occur at a line break are typeset only
+at the beginning of the next line, opposite to what you want for the
+fermata. This can be corrected by the following property setting

@node Tuning per grob
The DVI file (@file{test.dvi}) contains the same sheet music in a
different format. DVI files are more easily processed by the computer,
-so viewing them usually is quicker. Execute @code{xdvi test.dvi}
-to view the DVI file.
+so viewing them usually is quicker. Execute @code{xdvi test.dvi} or
+@code{kdvi test.dvi} to view the DVI file. In Xdvi, the mouse buttons
+activate magnifying glasses. Unfortunately, variable symbols, such as
+beams and slurs won't show up in these.
If your DVI viewer does not have a "Print" button, you can print the
file by executing @code{lpr test.ps}.

-If you can't get the examples to print, then you should look into
-installing and configuring ghostscript. Refer to GhostScript's website
-at @uref{http://www.ghostscript.com}.
+If your system does not support printing PostScript files, then you
+can install GhostScript, a PostScript emulator. Refer to
+GhostScript's website at @uref{http://www.ghostscript.com}.
@cindex GhostScript
@cindex @code{lpr}
@cindex Printing output
@cindex PostScript
+@cindex PDF
+
+A final option, is to use the popular PDF format. You can get a PDF
+file by running @code{ly2dvi --pdf test.ly}. With the @code{--pdf},
+you will get a DVI, PS and PDF file. The viewers for the PS files also
+accept PDF files, but there are also many other applications for
+viewing PDF files.
+
+If you are familiar with @TeX{}, then one warning is in place: do not
+use other DVI drivers like @code{dvilj}. The @TeX{} coming out of
+LilyPond uses embedded PostScript code, and will not render correctly
+if you use anything different than @code{dvips}.
