I'm sure that LILYPOND_GC_YIELD is not ignored, I tried it. See
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg38982.html
However, I don't know if 90 is really high or not.
I used to recommend a number below 70.

Hi Lilyponders.
newbie question - I'm entering the world of lilypond via JMSL
(www.algomusic.com <http://www.algomusic.com/>) and glad to be here.
I've got a rather lengthy score of ~2400 measures with many, many
notes. When I attempt to create the PDF file, I get as far as the
preprocessing of graphical objects, and then I receiving a memory
allocation error. I've scoured the web / lilypond.org
<http://lilypond.org> site / etc. for information regarding memory
allocation and am a bit stumped.
I'm on a windows machine, and the CPU holds at 50% usage, and memory
never goes above the ~1.75 GB mark. I've tried adding the
LILYPOND_GC_YIELD environment variable and setting it high (90), but
it appears that this is ignored. Is this true on windows machines?
I've looked for ways to set this from the command line arguments
[lilypond-windows.exe - ??] but it doesn't appear that this is the way
to do this either. Smaller runs of the same process that generates the
longer score seem to work alright. I get the impression it's not a
syntax issue as much as it is a memory allocation issue, and there's
more CPU and memory to be used, for sure.
Ideas? Has anyone dealt with long compilation times / high memory
usage / memory errors on windows machines?
Thank you kindly,
Joel
