    Hi,
    
    a question on the Frescobaldi mailing list got me thinking: is it possible 
(or could it be made possible with reasonable effort) to attach a debugger to a 
LilyPond compilation process?
    
It is possible to attach a debugger to LilyPond.  It requires keeping the debug 
symbols in the compilation, and the standard installation process strips the 
symbols.  The contributors guide discusses how to do it.

The use of breakpoints is helpful.  But my experience has been that it's not 
really easy to trace the parsing, iteration, and layout of a particular score 
in a debugger.

I don't know how well this answers your question.

Thanks,

Carl
