Re: Project - Emacs mode extensions for LilyPond

[Aaron]

The ability to hear the notes as you type would change the whole nature
of creating lilyfiles. I think that if there was a way to do this not
specific to a specific text editor it would be even more valuable.

I am at present forced to use vim but as hebrew support improves I may
switch to emacs...

Even nicer would be the ability to scroll.
this would be nice with a sly like script that would let you enter
lilypond files all on one line, then to scroll and play, karoke style
would be fantastic for error correction.
