Architecturally it is very difficult. Rather than making lilypond much more complicated to do incremental rendering, why not invert the problem: have your editor control line breaks, and use lilypond to render just one line of music at a time. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - han...@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
