Cool! Can you see any similar tricks that you can do on scm/output-ps.scm ? (or wherever the basic lilypond stuff is done) One possible concern: although your new version uses 40% less operators, is there any speed difference? Sometimes having more commands can actually result in faster code. I'm not certain if this is applicable here, nor how precisely you'd test it (open each file in xpdf three times and average the wait?), but we might want to be a bit cautious, even if you *can* see how to make significant reductions like this in the basic lilypond output. :) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
