Re: faster lilypond rendering

I'd like to weigh in on this one. My experience is totally contrary to the way this discussion has gone. The actual entry and correction of the music is a trivial small part of the time I spend working with Lilypond. I spend much more time in adjusting the tweaks, especially the choice of line br
