Well, I am currently in the process of running make info (similar to make doc), and this is totally silly.
In my opinion, the whole lybook-db stuff needs to go. Instead, Lilypond is run _once_ for all snippets of a lybook source, generating _one_ PostScript file. Then GhostScript is run _once_ to generate a bunch of eps files, or a multi-page PDF file with all graphics in them which get referenced as needed. Bleedover of variables/fonts/whatever is not all that crucial since we are talking about a single document source rather than an immaculate database. It may be useful to run every snippet in a parser clone of its own, then only global changes bleed. The resulting speed will be such that saving time via the lybook-db is not a concern. This would make the pre-push sanity tests so much easier that it would not be funny. And would definitely simplify the build system. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
