Hi Jonas, I tested 2.23.6 from various sources wrt time, always doing time lilyversion-to-test file.ly The results (I post always the second run): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% repository %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% self-compiled lilypond-git out of 9e8645564f (HEAD, tag: release/2.23.6-1) Release: bump Welcome versions. with guile-2.2.7 real 0m47,518s user 0m47,007s sys 0m1,145s after GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=1 real 0m31,956s user 0m31,420s sys 0m0,868s %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% GitLab-archive %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% lilypond-2.23.6 from https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/releases/release%252F2.23.6-1 (with guile-2.2.7) real 0m42,682s user 0m42,008s sys 0m0,900s %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% installer %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% lilypond-2.23.6 from http://lilypond.org/development (with guile-1.8.8) real 0m32,733s user 0m31,364s sys 0m1,337s Obviously the version from GitLab is significantly slower than the self-compiled version with compiled guile-code. No clue why. Apart from that, the version via installer does (and always did): "A script in /home/hermann/bin will be created as a shortcut." With the GitLab-archive I have to care myself. Not a big deal, a little inconvenient, though. Any chance to have such a script autogenerated again? Thanks, Harm
