Comment #1 on issue 686 by [email protected]: Enhancement:
showLastLength as a command-line option
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=686
Mike Solomon made a fresh request for this enhancement, here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2012-05/msg00081.html
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs/35425
and see comments from Urs Liska in the above thread. Quoting Mike's
original post:
"It'd be great to have a command line option that specifies the
number of measures (or eighth notes or whatever) to typeset at
the end of a piece. This way, skipTypesetting can be called from the
command line or set as an option in a header file. It'd speed up
workflow a lot."
