Hi Han-Wen,
I've been spending time recently looking for the most efficient and
helpful text editor combinations for my lilypond work.
I use a Mac PPC with 10.4.7.
My primary interests in a text editor are line-numbers (to be able to
find things when I've made typing errors in my files), something that
opens in conjunction with point-and-click, perhaps syntax
highlighting, and maybe a choice of which font I use.
The current text editor that comes with the LilyPond.app doesn't do
those things (you can change the fonts while working on the files,
but they're gone again when you save and reopen them), and as we
briefly discussed in a mail a while back, I can't change a setting
somewhere that allows me to select which text program is opened when
I click on a PDF of my lilypond scores.
I would be willing to sponsor an extension of the current features if
you had the time and interest in adding them.
I currently use TextWrangler for my lilypond files, which allows me
the line numbering and minimal syntax highlighting (I have the
display read the ly files with LaTeX syn-highlighting and it gives me
all I need since the commands are all also preceded backslashes).
Either option would be fine for me: the choice of which editor (some
people could then choose emacs, perhaps) or an extension of the
current included text editor for the LilyPond.app.
Would you be willing to work on adding such features (feature), and
if so, what might it cost?
Thanks,
Sean
