Nothing unusual. Neither is there anything unusual about LilyPond's use of Ghostscript. Or GUILE. Or the Bourne shell. Or about half a dozen other dependencies. Leave all of them out from our LilyPond distribution, and the user base on Windows will drop to 5%, while the number of bug reports stays about the same. Except that they will usually not be the fault of LilyPond, and it will require a lot of work to figure out just where things went wrong, since everybody's environment is different. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
