Well, I am working on the plugin for jEdit. I thought that an Eclipse plugin
would also be funny to work with, but I wanted to have an editor that starts
faster than Eclipse. 
However, now I think that jEdit could be much more powerful than I thought:
it has a built-in BeanShell (i.e. Java macro) interpreter. Using that many
transformations on the lilypond files could be achievable, I mean for
example it would be possible to write a macro that performs transposition,
change the variable names and so on. 
Actually I think that my LilyPond plugin could provide an "API" for the
lilypond-related macros (that means that some logic should be implemented in
the plugin: for example parsing the source file to find the variable names,
to have the language-dependent note names etc.)

Well, if anyone gave me ideas what macros to write, I would happily write
them.

Greetings,

Bert
