instantaneous, less than 1 second. Only jpedal seems not to finish
thinking for ages.
I'm using a little home-brewed script that does the following things
automatically:
1. If I start the script with a lilypond file as argument, lilypond
processes the file with --ps option (postscript only). No time is
waisted to convert the ps to pdf.
2. Two windows are opened: One window with gv shows the postscript
picture, one xterm window running vim to edit the lilypond source. Both
windows are automatically placed and correctly dimensioned to fit next
to each other on my screen. gv is called with the "-watch" option and
automatically sets the zoom to 50% ( -scale=-2 ) to show more of my
page.
3. If I edit the source, everytime I save this is detected by an endless
loop in my script, lilypond is called and a new postscript is created.
This is detected by gv thanks to the -watch option. Et voila, the score
can be seen almost instantaneously!
4. And all this can be done without ever touching the
mouse :-)
I did take a short look at kdelily (or was it lilykde ?) and
jedit/lilypondtool. I was impressed at first sight, but in the end I
liked my own fast and lightweight approach better.
If anyone is interested I can make it publically available. But I have
to polish it a little bit first to make it more configurable to
different needs (screensizes, file locations, etc.)
