I can't think of any such issues off the top of my head, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were unknown issues about this. oh wait, I *do* remember something arises from the translations: the documentation has multiple copies of the same .ly file in various translations. The whole reason we have a out/lybook-db/ is to try to notice idential filenames and avoid rewriting them. A few years ago (sorry... between 2 and 5 years is as much as I can narrow it down from memory, and a few quick searches of -devel didn't pinpoint anything) that was a serious problem with doc compiles. actually, a quick look at the history for make/lydocs-make suggests 3a9c1df02fdb6846418c5794a7b04d07209e95b3 and I definitely remember that John Mandereau was working on this stuff. It would fit the time span. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
