point and click, pdf size

[Wilbert Berendsen]

to add to the discussion about PDF size:

Maybe it's a good idea to turn point and click off by default. It is of most 
use while editing, but published PDF's are four to six times larger than 
without. My recent Bach-chorals[1] are 1548877 byte with, and 253525 bytes 
without point and click.

Editing environments could be configured to call lilypond 
with -dpoint-and-click. (A special 'Publish' button could then export a PDF 
without the point and click urls.)

Quite now and then I encounter large lilypond files on the web with all the 
embedded textedit:// urls; people apparently don't know about the possibility 
to turn it off (while it IS in the docs :-)

best regards,
Wilbert Berendsen
