1. Even with a very small input file, I find a delay of 4-5 seconds
after invoking lilypond before I see anything happening. Is this
normal, or am I doing something wrong? It's the same whether I type
"lilypond filename" in a console window, or invoke lilypond through an
editor interface. I've used Latex a lot, which seems to work much
faster - but then music processing is more complicated than text.
It is strange because I had exaclty the same problem but I have just
installed 2.8.5 to check and now it is much quicker: 1.6 seconds
(Pentium M, 1.86 GHz) for the following very small example: { c d e f g
a b }
I am using 2.8.5 with Windows XP and I call the windows version of
Lilypond from Cygwin (not using the cygwin version). However, when I try
it from DOS, it takes exactly the same time but the behaviour is
different: the program stops immediately and later, a black windows pops
up very quickly.
2. It seems that lilypond can read files with long names, but it writes
.ps and .pdf files in 8+4 format. So if I use a filename with more than
8 characters, the output files have apparently different names. Is
there any way to get it to output .ps files with the same name as the
input file?
Never experienced such a problem. I have tried both from Cygwin and from
DOS: it works,
