Subject: lilypond and multithreading


Hi,

rendering a score on an i7-2640M with the option "-djob-count=2"
shows 100% cpu load only on one thread of one of the two cores while
rendering.

Is there some way or a recommended technique of setting up lilypond to
better distribute the load? Or does lilypond have to get compiled with
special compile options in order to take full advantage of
multithreading?

It runs as a single threaded process. However, if there are a number of lilypond files to compile, the job-count option allows it to compile each with a separate process, in parallel.
