Indeed! And also checks for verbose mode and maybe english messages 
(although I'll keep that last one also in the prefs, I presume some 
people prefer the english LilyPond messages)

Yes, I also thought of this. I will also make a menu action that could 
be set to a shortcut. But the same action will be put as a button on the 
debug mode panel.

I will do it. I already did some reorganization to make multiple 
mainwindows with different debug mode settings working correctly.
