RE: [ANN] Frescobaldi 0.7 released, a new LilyPond music editor

[Nick Payne]

While you are inputting the notes, you can use showLastLength to only engrave 
the last n bars for checking. That makes it pretty quick. Eg In my present 
score I have

showLastLength = R1*3/4*6

which only engraves the last six bars of 3/4 time. The piece I'm working on at 
the moment now takes 23 seconds to build the whole score, but with 
showLastLength it only takes three seconds to engrave those last six bars.
