In that case, my data point is probably not relevant to you... but FWIW, the biggest LilyPond project I've done so far is a short piece (~5 min, 163 bars) for small orchestra, 21 staves in the input, \partcombine'd into 14 printed staves, 22 pages for the full score, 50 pages in total if I include the individual instrument parts. I use a single .ly file to generate everything, optionally including the parts depending on a custom command-line option. Compiling the whole thing takes about ~10 seconds for the full score, ~22 seconds for everything on my PC. Compared to what some of you are working with, it looks like I'm still far from Lilypond's limits. :-) T -- There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
