Greetings everybody,
Hi Valentin
Wow! This is a major work! It must be the largest LilyPond score
ever! I compiled the full score last night to peruse, and it looks
awesome. The pdf file is 6.65 Mb!
I haven't yet been able to look at it musically, but I thought I'd let you
know that it can be downloaded easily from your git site (although
you need to be git-aware to do this), and compiled under Vista.
I had to change only the \includes in main.ly from
\include "./foo/bar.ly" to \include "foo/bar.ly"
but otherwise it worked first time out of the box. There are a few
warnings, mainly about beam slopes and between-system-padding,
nothing serious.
It took quite a time to compile on my 2Gb laptop, partly because I
inadvertently started two compiles of the full score simultaneously (I
now realise!), which caused quite a bit of paging, as you might
imagine. It should compile much faster on a 4Gb machine, or one
at a time!
Success! The full score compiled in 3 hours, 6 minutes. Ubuntu 8.04,
2GB RAM, and some kind of Intel dual-core processor. It's a beautiful
score, Valentin. Do you think this work would be appropriate for
college students to perform? We have a pretty decent bunch of singers
here and they do a production every year. Maybe I'll pitch it to the
director. They like comedies.
Congrats again and thanks for sharing with us. :)
Jon
