Re: lilypond-book and TeX pool size

[Mats Bengtsson]

As an alternative to editing the texmf.cnf file, you could set the
corresponding environment variables. This is useful, for example, if
you don't want to change a system-wide texmf.cnf file. The following
settings are done by default in the script ly2dvi:
export pool_size=250000
export extra_mem_top=1000000
export extra_mem_bottom=1000000

These settings could, for example, be done in your personal
~/.profile file. Maybe we should include them by default in
the lilypond-profile.sh and lilypond-login.sh files?
