Tracking the dependencies of every decision made in the output from the originating data and only restarting the "necessary" dataflow will significantly slow done compilation. Self-awareness is computationally expensive. A human will prefer working that way. But even if you are looking at a supermarket queue with barcode scanner cash registers, typing in a number on the register for several identical items will only cause speedups for significantly large numbers. The brainless way of doing everything mechanically without shortcuts tends to be rather efficient. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
