Re: Question regaring editor / debugger idea

[Mats Bengtsson]

This seems to be a natural first reaction for new LilyPond users
with some previous programming experience. I recommend that you
search the mailing list archives for similar discussions in the
past.

There are already a number of additions to different editors with
a similar scope as yours. Packed within the LilyPond distribution,
you can find LilyPond modes for Emacs and Vim. Among others, these
include exactly the kind of list you request. See
.../share/lilypond/2.2.x/vim/syntax/lilypond-words*
and the file lilypond-words.el (the exact location may depend on
your distribution).

In the mailing list archives for the last week, you can also find some
links to a similar package for Jedit.
