You can check on this by using the Activity Monitor (in the Finder, Go menu > Utilities > Activity Monitor). If you sort alphabetically you can easily find Lilypond and see whether it is demanding a lot of CPU cycles, hogging memory and/or spawning a lot of subprocesses that are slowing things down. There's no reason to keep Lilypond open, however, unless you are using the built-in text editor and there are frankly much better options for writing .ly files (Smultron, Fraise, Emacs, etc.). ---- What exactly does 'keep lilypond open' mean in this context? It just runs once, sprouts a pdf and then stops. That's why I can't understand what else would be running unless we have a memory leak somewhere? LilyPad is as far as I can see a very lightweight editor (and much easier to use than bother with mucking about with plug ins for things like Smultron which just got in the way). You leave LilyPad alone! :P She's done me proud and I wouldn't use anything else on a Mac (thanks to whoever came up with that BTW). :) James _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
