RE: mac osx emacs lilypond-mode

[arjan.bos]

Sean,

Did you put in your .emacs the code that links .ly files with lilypond-mode?
You can do this by adding:
;; lilypond
(autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode" "LilyPond Editing Mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))

Or, alternatively, you can use M-x load-library [ret] lilypond-mode 
to load lilypond mode. This makes the lilypond functions available to emacs. 
You then are able to switch on lilypond mode by M-x LilyPond-mode. Please be 
aware that these names are case-sensitive.

HTH,
Arjan

Btw [ot] When starting with Latex in emacs, please consider auctex as an 
enhanced latex-mode. It helps with a lot of small things, like placing the 
correct environment with begin and end, changing fonts and things like that.

hi arjan,

thanks for the response.
i still must be doing something wrong, or not understanding something.

i created an .emacs file and added-to-list 'load-path the directories 
/sw/etc/emacs21/site-start.d (where i have lilypond-init.el) and 
/sw/share/emacs21/site-lisp (where i have lilypond-mode.el, -indent.el, 
-font-lock.el etc.). having quit and restarted the program, i used C-h 
v load-path and saw that both directories were now indeed listed the 
load-paths.

but M-x gave me no option for loading any lilypond-mode.
is that not how you load it?
could it be a version discrepancy? (installed emacs 21.3.50 via fink 
today).

i am (pretty much) brand new (again) to emacs and went through the 
whole tutorial with C-h t today. even if the point-and-click doesn't 
work out, i would be interested in learning it a bit more, since i 
would consider using it for latex documents and eventually for CLM at 
some point again (which is where i used it bumbingly a couple of months 
5 years ago for the first time).

thanks again for any tips.

best,
sean
