I don't think that LilyPond can reasonably split a project along the lines of "independent chunks" since chunks basically are not independent and can communicate using variables and functions. It is more realistic to work with some parallelism and pipelining in the different processing stages. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
