Hi,
I remember reading some time ago that someone said that the part of running
lilypond that takes the most time is when lilypond loads guile. That seems
to be quite true, as lilypond can process heaps of little music fragments
(when using lily-book) quite quickly.
So, would it be possible to add a mode to lilypond, where you load lilypond,
and keep it sitting there on standby. Then, when you want a score typeset,
you tell lilypond the file to use (or drag it into the window). Lilypond
then processes the file as normal, but stays 'alive' after that. This might
be a useful feature to have, especially when doing tweaks.
