Re: Getting a new computer

Hi Vaughan, Despite one comment here on the list, using as SSD will make no virtually no noticeable difference to lilypond. It is not disk IO bound, and we are not talking about reading gigabytes of files. You may want an SSD for general reasons, but in terms of pure lilypond, having the fastest

Re: Getting a new computer

Hi Vaughan, Your choral score is beautiful, Most impressive. Well done. Another fantastic use of lilypond. It seems your score has become a standard benchmark for lilypond performance tests now! A couple of points. It is very often the case that when running Linux on Virtualbox or similar under

Hello Vaughan, Well, that code does not compile and generates and error on 2.19.50, but it gets very close to the final PDF. On my new system with an i7-6700 it takes about 35 seconds, so I’d say of the order of 40 seconds. I specified my new system that I built principally for lilypond,
