Thanks for reply. The lilypond manual (13.6) was not clear with this:
> Emacs has a 'lilypond-mode', which provides keyword autocompletion, 
> indentation,

> LilyPond specific parenthesis matching and syntax coloring, handy compile

The Windows installer doesnt install a lilypond installation instruction, so 
I searched for emacs' installation instructions, since "Emacs has a ...". 
Ok, I retrieved the lilypond sources and got the INSTALL.txt.



Editing now works except "reading LilyPond manuals using Info". I cannot 
find any info file installed with the Windows installation.



Regards, Helge
