Okay, that's a good thing! When you set this option, the typesetting part is skipped, so your PDF won't contain any music. I should have asked a better question: When you compile your score with skipTypesetting = ##t, are there any noticeable compile time differences with 2.10.33 versus 2.12.1? This setting isn't meant to make LilyPond faster, it's meant to aid in debugging the compile process. -Patrick _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
