That would take take much longer than 10-30 seconds. If there's a way to generate the docs without compiling lilypond examples (i.e. just show the verbatim code, without actually generating the images), that would be awesome. 99% of doc updates don't need to be image-checked, so that could save me/whoever a lot of time. :) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
