It depends on what you are doing. The preview-latex system <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/preview-latex> turns each embedded math construct into one page in a PDF or DVI file and papers written by father (Theoretical Physics) routinely take 1000+ of those. LilyPond's documentation uses a similar mechanism though with separate file name bases. If it wanted to employ GhostScript on multiple images in a single run (and that significantly cuts down on execution time), it would likely need to route this through a single file name as well. So at any rate, a 1000+ page document does not need to consist of just a single \score. %d is a simple format supported by basically all tools that allow for autogenerated file names. Stuff like %03d is much more tricky. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
