Hi Paolo, can't say anything to 1) or 2) ad 3) LilyPond still uses guile-1.8, if you observe some speedup, then because of some optimisations. Experimental builds with guile-2 showed a huge slow down, the last time I tried it out, which is admittedly a while back. Though, there is continuous hard work to improve the situation. I should try it out again... The suggestion to focus on guile-3 makes no sense at the moment, because it is not broadly in the distros, afaict. Cheers, Harm
