I've been processing quite a bit of mensural music recently, and have
noticed that it's slow compared to modern music. That's OK: it's a niche
application, so so be it. I thought I'd see whether it used to be quicker.
A simple benchmark (on Windows) gave the following:
2.12 5.0 sec
2.13.51 6.3s
2.13.52 14.7s
2.14.2 14.5s
2.19.6 13.7s
So we can see that something happened between 13.51 and 13.52 to slow
processing down significantly. I've done a bisect, and it appears it was
the result of the commit that fixed
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1470
- which was one I wanted fixed....
If I use
\override PaperColumn.keep-inside-line = ##f
\override NonMusicalPaperColumn.keep-inside-line = ##f
and repeat the 2.19.6 test, I come down from 13.7 seconds to 9.4, which is
pretty worth having. Not sure why this has a disproportionate effect on
mensural notation, but reckon it's worth a mention in the NR in the mensural
music section?
