Hi Nicola,
    I have found that if you typeset a file with Lilypond itself, the first
time it will rebuild the font caches but then after that it will run
normally. If you switch to Lilypad for example, it will want to rebuild the
caches again, and if you switch back to the Lilypond it will want to rebuild
them yet again. The lesson seems to be pick one and stick with it. The
problem that I noticed is that TexShop seems to want to rebuild the font
caches every time. If there was a way around this it would be great as I
really like using TexShop as an editor, even if point and click is not an
option.
