Instrument Transposition 'Leakage' To Other Instruments

I would hope that any revisions would not "break" our existing code and exception lists. A method to get any names one wants using the exception list already exists. A whole new standard should probably be implemented using a global enumerator with a value for each "chord naming method" availabl

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.
