hi arjan,

i double-checked this and it works now:
12) clicking on a note or other object now opens the corresponding lilypond file and takes me to A spot in the script. (it doesn't call emacs to the front though).
This final point is the tick, and may be where han-wen or somebody could add some advice. It takes me to the line and number as stated in the textedit:// hyperlink, but this is not the corresponding code for the given object.
i resaved the .ly-file i was using under a different name, reran lilypond on it and tried the point-and-click again and it worked perfectly. worked with all other files as well. 

so, good news!
for some reason i have to run lilypond from the terminal.app, since running it from xterm gives me an error in converting from ps to pdf. something about ps2pdf papersize="a4" and something. but this is not such a bad thing. 

best,
sean

hi arjan,

thanks, that got me a useable LilyPond mode in emacs.
i still have to load it by hand with the M-x load-library, and i think it only works when i load the lilypond-init.el despite the "autoload" in the .emacs file, opening an .ly file doesn't automatically load the mode.
Strange, I copied the part straight from my .emacs file, and for me it works.
when i try to just load lilypond-mode and open an .ly file i get an error message: Wrong type argument: arryp, nil
This I get as well. I never took the time to really figure out why. I think I was put off by the strange way the syntax-table is organized.
if i M-x load-library "lilypond-init.el", then C-x C-f a lilypond file, it loads in LilyPond mode, but gives me the error: Error in post-command-hook: (wrong-type-argument integerp nil), but the buffer is LilyPond mode, the lilypond menu is available, and it for all i can determine, it works. 

the pdf point-and-click isn't working for me yet either.
i installed firefox and Xpdf, changed the firefox prefs.js to include the user_pref() statements for lilypond-pdfpc-helper textedit protocol, and added the urlCommand to the xpdfrc file. xpdf shows me the textedit:// link when i point at a note, but doesn't open the text editor.
i tried running lilypond-pdfpc-helper alone from terminal by manually entering a path to a file and a :line:character, and got the following error: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/sw/bin/lilypond-pdfpc-helper", line 78, in ?
    editor = os.environ['EDITOR']
  File "/sw/lib/python2.3/UserDict.py", line 19, in __getitem__
    def __getitem__(self, key): return self.data[key]
KeyError: 'EDITOR'
You might have found the answer yourself already. What you need is to define an environment variable called "EDITOR" pointing to the editor you use. In the Terminal you start lilypond from you need to do: 
 export EDITOR=/sw/bin/emacs
or some other editor of choice. This is for bash. I forgot the tcsh syntax. For convenience sake, you can put that export command in your .profile file.
is it possible that there is a different command necessary to determine the EDITOR for darwin? can i determine whether emacs or a given text editor is set as default for my darwin environment? or can i set that to emacs? or is textedit a protocol that isn't available on darwin? when i placed the hyperlink of a note from the pdf directly into the firefox address box i got the message that firefox didn't support the textedit protocol. is it possible that the macos firefox doesn't? sorry for all the questions.
btw: Bertalan: is there a LilyTool available or becoming available that will allow point-and-click with ly 2.5.23 in jEdit? 

thanks for the assistance.

best,
sean

ps: thanks for the auctex tip.

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

To create a .emacs file, simply start editing one. For example by:
 C-x C-f ~/.emacs

If you do:
C-h v load-path
it will show you the path emacs searches when it looks for files.
There are bound to be a whole lot of directories in them. Just put
your files in one of them. Alternatively, if you want to add a
directory to the load-path, add the following to your .emacs file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/sw/share/emacs/site-lisp" t)
Where /sw/share/emacs/site-lisp is the name of the directory you want 
to add to the load-path.

By the way, if you are new to emacs, it wouldn't do no harm to read
the tutorial which you can access via the 'help' menu, or via C-h t
(That is control-h t)
I never could get point-and-click to work on Mac OS X 10.3.n, not even when using X11 and xdvi and emacs via X11, so if it works for you I'd 
be delighted to know.

Hope this helps,

Arjan Bos

might anyone have any hints on how to get the emacs lilypond-mode to 
work on macos 10.3.9?

i have been using jEdit very happily up to now, but the
point-and-click function doesn't seem to be compatible with the two 
versions i have (2.5.23 and 2.5.0). it returns a bean shell error
when i try to "enable point-and-click" and selecting "view output
dvi" gives me an empty jDvi viewer.
the documentation for the new pdf hyperlink point-and-click addresses 
emacs and vim, so i thought i'd try emacs.

the installation documentation for lilypond-mode in emacs doesn't
refer specifically to macos 10.x and i can't figure out where to put 
the .el files. i can find no .emacs file, and no matter which
combination of where i place the lilypond-init.el and other .el files into the various /site-start and /site-lips folders i've found, when 
i start emacs and perform an M-x, i am offered no option for
lilypond-mode. (i assume this is the correct procedure, since i can 
successfully select latex-mode this way and it functions fine).

i have made long attempts with the fink installation of emacs,
XEmacs, enhanced carbon emacs, and emacs for aqua, but just ain't
gettin' it.

i have installed firefox and Xpdf, as the documentation instructs,
and modified the xpdfrc and prefs.js files. all three of my PDF
viewers successfully identify the hyperlinks (Xpdf, Preview, and
Acrobat Reader), but clicking on them does nothing.

thanks in advance for any clues.

best,
sean
