Which works substantially slower than compiling to DVI and then using dvips or similar. > I'm always stunned how fast "ordinary" compilation can be with LaTeX, > for example when simply pushing a Markdown document through Pandoc. Try compiling the TeX source code to DVI (not! PDF) with plain TeX. That was sort of the definition of a large document in the 80s. Makes you wonder where LaTeX spends all its time. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
