Re: Which path for the dictionary? ... auto-completion possible in Emacs.

[Mats Bengtsson]

This could easily be solved if Emacs had environment variables similar
to $TEXINPUTS for teTeX, where you could add directories to the default
load path. There is an environment variable $LOADPATH, but for some
curious reason, it overrides the default path, so it has to include also all
directories that Emacs searches by default. This makes it virtually 
impossible
to automatically add a new search directory in a lilypond-profile.sh file.

On the other hand, we already now have lilypond-mode.el,
lilypond-font-lock.el and lilypond-indent.el that has to be
included in the Emacs load path in some way or the other.
Therefore, the obvious solution is to place also the dictionary
file in the same directory and find it via the load path.
