Yes. Nedit has a client interface called nc. This is what should be 
called on the command line instead of nedit itself, to avoid multiple 
instances of nedit after each point-and-click. So: after adding

#(set! point-and-click line-location)

to the top of your .ly source file, start xdvi thus:

xdvi  -editor "nc -noask" foo.ly &

The (-ask -noask) option simply tells nedit whether or not to ask if it 
should start an nedit server if one is not already running.

That's all there is to it. Thanks, Jan.

Cheers,
Carter
