pdf files produced by lilypond can in fact be edited as vector graphics using inkscape
-
if you open the PDF files directly, however, all the fonts will be missing
-
so convert to svg first, then open
- use pdf2svg to do the conversion
- on OSX use the terminal to install this:
- brew install pdf2svg
- this will no doubt fail several times, telling you that various files need linking
- persevere, using the overwrite method
- e.g. brew link --overwrite libtiff
- once it's installed do rehash to update your paths to commands and off you go
-
after editing you can save to PDF in inkspace directly
