I was actually doing it to build the snippets in the regression tests, I wanted to build all of them with 10 different processes simultaneously. I didn't time it, but I think it came out much faster. And, I still cannot build the documentation. I can build lilypond, but not the documentation. I've just given up on that one. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
