Doing more than one job on a single call is not a prerequisite of LilyPond. Now LilyPond-book also sifts out duplicates which is nice when compiling a dozen translations. Demanding that from Context would likely be excessive (though I think that the underlying engines can do checksums). But combining several files on a single command line? That does not sound too unreasonable. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
