Hi all,
I'm working on a graphical music editing program. The final output (with Lilypond, of course) is going great, but for editing the music in real-time it's way too slow.
Can you give me advice or point me toward a resource on speeding up Lilypond by turning off features? For instance, I don't care about stem length, beam slant, collisions between noteheads and anything else, collisions between markup elements, or spacing between staves. And since it will always be rendering to a single page wide enough to hold it all on one line, I'd like to turn off the line break calculations. What do you suggest?
Thank you,
Isaac Reilly
