Could it be simply that I don't have enough RAM?
More like LilyPond does not have enough RAM. I think it is a 32bit executable. In that case I don't think it will get much more than 3GB regardless of what you may have installed. LilyPond's representation of printed output items is sort-of wasteful but I am still surprised that someone manages to hit the 3GB mark. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
