Bonkers.

I removed all instances of emacs from the Debian 9 system and purged my
.cache directory.

Lilypond-invoke-editor still insists on running emacsclient. EDITOR is set
to gvim. Gvim is gvim - its not set to an alternate to emacs or anything
silly like that.

Syslog shows:

eb 23 19:36:58 debian org.gnome.Nautilus[1370]: sh: 1: emacsclient: not
found
Feb 23 19:36:58 debian org.gnome.Nautilus[1370]: sh: 1: emacs: not found
Feb 23 19:36:58 debian org.gnome.Nautilus[1370]: sh: 1: emacsclient: not
found
Feb 23 19:36:58 debian org.gnome.Nautilus[1370]: sh: 1: emacs: not found
Feb 23 19:36:58 debian org.gnome.Nautilus[1370]: lilypond-invoke-editor
(GNU LilyPond) 2.19.82

What does Nautilus have to do with any of this?

That looks like the culprit, but it's beyond my dim wit to figure this out.

[As to why emacs has started running unacceptably slowly, it jut may be an
issue with emacs 27 on Debian, whose official version is 24. Just maybe.]
