Hi James,

I think it's mostly used when building the docs. The only case where
it might help you would be if you have lots of different LilyPond
scores to compile, or when using lilypond-book with a large number of
LilyPond snippets to compile. But in any other usage, job-count will
not help you since LilyPond is a single-threaded application. I'm not
even sure that job-count would work if you have a single .ly file with
multiple \book blocks (in fact, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't).

If you are trying to build the docs, have a look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor-big-page#saving-time-with-cpu_005fcount

Yours Pondly,
Valentin
