following up myself: [ after complaining about my large scores ]

I'll try to understand what goes on, but am not too confident. if needed, I can post my .ly files. p _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
