While you are inputting the notes, you can use showLastLength to only engrave the last n bars for checking. That makes it pretty quick. Eg In my present score I have
showLastLength = R1*3/4*6 which only engraves the last six bars of 3/4 time. The piece I'm working on at the moment now takes 23 seconds to build the whole score, but with showLastLength it only takes three seconds to engrave those last six bars.
